The original owners of the farm on which it was established were the Seaveys who settled there about 1760. Later it was owned by Hosea Knowlton from whom the cemetery took one of its names. Henry Edgerly became the owner next, and soon after the transfer the Chichester Union Cemetery Association was formed which bought about an acre of land of him to enlarge the holdings. The ground is now cared for as a town cemetery. It is located at an intersection of the Horsecorner and Lane Roads about a half mile southwest of Dover Road (Routes 202,4 and 9) and some of the early settlers of that section of the town are buried there.
