2005 Driving Directions - Rte. 21N to Williamson. Make Right turn onto Ridge Rd. Follow into East Williamson. Pass East Williamson Cemetery, through next intersection. The Reformed Church has changed names. After you pass the church, 4 houses up on the Right, there is an empty space where one would think a house would belong. On this empty space you will see two GAR markers for two Civil War Veterans.

In East Williamson on south side of old Route 104, a short distance east of the present (1952) Reformed Church is a plot which at one time was a fair sized cemetery. All that remains is two Civil War markers where flags are placed each Memorial Day.

There are no stones but the burials are:

BRILL Peter, d. Jul 7, 1865, Co. H, III N.Y.S. Vol. Died in WA DC
COLLIER William, Feb 4, 1825-Aug 4, 1865, Co. I, 65 N.Y. Vol.

Many graves were taken up and moved.

1975 - William Plassey of Rochester says that a Mrs. Valorn in East Williamson told him that some stones are stacked at the back of a lot along fence, 3 or 4 deep. She also thinks some graves might be under the dirt next to her garage.
