John Bailey family of Hanover, and Daphne, a slave of the Caleb Barker family of Hanover, resided on Pine Island in their old age, near the house of Caleb Barker on Plain Street.[Caleb Barker's house, according to historian Dwelley was located "near the residence of the late Zaccheus Estes" on Plain Street.] It was probably their graves that could be seen in 1815. This graveyard is not marked and its precise location is unknown.
