Information from Cheryl Longyear, Montezuma Town Historian in 2020: "The graves are from one of the earliest settlers in Montezuma (then part of Mentz) by Lewis and Huldah McLoud originally from New Jersey. They had nine children with several listed as born in Montezuma from 1809 on. The McLoud’s acquired the land as part of an official land grant. It included approximately 600 acres, and today the farm consists of approximately 100 acres owned by Donna and Fred Burleton. The original Erie Canal crossed the property on Route 31." The cemetery is in a wooded area at the top of a drumlin on Mentz Church Road, and accessible through a rough logging trail from Route 31. The trailhead is hidden in overgrowth just west of the water station on Route 31. There is also an overgrown culvert and roadway that can be seen from Mentz Church Road, but there is no parking area available in that vicinity.
