Two historical figures of note were buried in this cemetery:

Peregrine Fitzhugh was a colonel in the Revolutionary War and  during the last two years of the war he was aid-de-camp to General George Washington. Fitzhugh Street in Sodus Point is named in his honor.  For more information about him click this link: http://historicsoduspoint.com/people/colonel-peregrine-fitzhugh-2/colonel-peregrine-fitzhugh/

Major Farr fought in the Battle of Sodus Point on June 19th, 1813.  He is remembered for a humorous situation that occurred after the battle: Major Farr and Lieutenant Nathaniel Merrill played a series of dodges, a sort of “Hide-and-Seek” with each other in the woods, each thinking the other an enemy. Farr got so tangled up in the woods that he did not find his way out until morning.”

At one time there were many more graves in the cemetery but due to the action of the water, (it was on a bluff overlooking Lake Ontario), every year one or two graves were washed away. In 19—.the town of Sodus removed the remaining 7 to Sodus Rural Cemetery where they were interred with the original headstones (except Major Farr, for whom a new/one was placed). They are in one row imbedded in concrete and a monument was erected back of them with the following inscription: In memory of the early settlers who lived in and near Sodus Point, Their foresight and courage has ever been an inspiration to all who followed. This footnote added September 17, 1951.
