"The Maineville Burying Ground is of later
origin. The following, copied from an inscription on a stone, probably
marks about the time of its establishment as a resting-place for
the dead: “Sacred to the memory of Peter
Dudley, who departed this life October 22, 1819.”

(Maineville Free-Will Baptist Church)
"This church was organized by Elder Moses Dudley, Henry
Greely and others as early as 1822 or 1823. It was called
Salt Spring Church. For a number of years they worshiped in a schoolhouse
east of Maineville, and not far from the Maineville Graveyard. About
1830, they built the present brick building."

"For a number of years they worshipped in a log house east
of Maineville under the leadership of Elder
Moses Dudley their first paster. The Baptist Cemetery
was laid out on the east side of the log meeting house from a drawing
made by Elder Moses
Dudley. The first burial was Elijah Tufts,
December 19, 1811. After the old log meeting house was torn down
the burial ground was enlarged by the "New Addition to the
Baptist cemetery". The addition was west of the original
cemetery, and joined the original burial ground just beyond the
site of the old log meeting house." [the book contains
images of the drawings of the cemetery done by Moses
Dudley ]
