I typed this as it was in the book. Hope it helps someone. The
property was the H A Duryee farm "near the bank of Beden's Brook on the
north side of the road between Blawenburg and Rocky Hill. The plot,
measuring about 36 by 30 feet, is enclosed by an iron fence. It
contains twenty stones bearing inscriptions; in addition there are a
field stone and a plain white marble stub, both unmarked." I have no
idea if any of this is still there. Good luck.
