Donna,
I think this is the cemetery you are referring to. There are many old
graves in here and many are those of the Greene family. Some are listed in
the Rhode Island Historical Cemeteries Transcription Project--some are not.
I don't see a listing for this particular Ebenezer. Maple Root Cemetery &
Maple Root Church are both still there.
Gloria in RI
HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: CY135 MAPLE ROOT CEMETERY
COVENTRY RI
Location: 25 ft south of HARKNEY HILL RD
1100 burials with 781 inscriptions from 1756 to 1993
NOTE: Adjacent to Plainland (CY050). This is a very old
cemetery containing many inscribed field stones for the
earliest settlers in this area. Records at Town Hall indicate
first lot in newer section was sold to Philip
Johnson on 7 Nov 1893.
Arnold visited between October 9 and 13, 1905, Vol. 6, Book
H and I, page 773, "At Maple Root Church is a
cemetery, the lots are much neglected, the yard is enclosed by
granite posts and iron rails and wall on back
side, all in good order."
This cemetery has been recorded and checked.
