This cemetery was the family burial ground for the Woodbridge and Jenkins families, beside the historic 1765 Benjamin Jenkins farmstead dating to the late 18th-century colonial period. Colonel Benjamin Jenkins was a Revolutionary War veteran, and Willian and Mary Farnum Jenkins were leading abolitionists. The Jenkins House was an important site along the Underground Railway. The Woodbridge family burials included Martha Woodbridge, 1761-1805; Martha Woodbridge, 1794-1826; Rhoda Woodbridge, 1798-1826; Mary Woodbridge, 1786-1831; Benjamin Woodbridge, 1757-1846; and Benjamin Woodbridge Jr., 1789-1853. The Jenkins family included Colonel Benjamin Jenkins, Margaret F. Jenkins, Milton Jenkins, Mrs. Benjamin Jenkins, and William Jenkins. Members of the Jenkins family died during the period from 1821-1878, and the remains were removed on April 13th, 1882 and re-interred in Spring Grove Cemetery, Andover, Massachusetts.
