Notes:

The place earliest used in town for a cemetery, so far as known, was the lot on the west side of the road, just north of Mrs. Rachel Shaw's, now occupied by C. W. Streeter as a pasture. Scarcely any race of these early burials, of which there were only a few, now remains. No headstones were erected. Another ancient cemetery lies on the east side of the road just south of the meeting-house.
This was in general use for perhaps twenty years, but was long since abandoned. The last interment here was that of Daniel Streeter, who suicided in 1855. Here were interred Jeremiah Robinson, who owned and operated the first corn mill in town, and his successor, Joseph Beals, the "Mountain Miller," and their families. These last named have been re-interred in the principal cemetery north of the meeting-house. In 1889, the writer witnessed the disinterment of the remains of Jeremiah Robinson, who died in 1824. Portions of the coffin still remained. One fragment bore his initials, J. R., formed by brass-headed nails driven into the wood, as was the custom in those days. Some 20 headstones bearing inscriptions still remain.--About twenty persons were buried in the pasture about half a mile north of Amos K. Griggs'. No headstones were erected, but the graves can still be distinctly traced. - History of the Town of Plainfield, p.56
March 22, 1790, "Voted that Simon Burroughs, Caleb White and Jeremiah Robinson be a committee to view the ground near Streeter's Saw-mill and Determine whether it be necessary to build a bridge over the Brook just above said mill or not." Later at the same meeting it was voted to build the bridge, which was probably one of the first in town. - History of the Town of Plainfield
Jeremiah was a Selectmen for Plainfield in 1791
It is believed that the grist mill, or "corn mill," as it was called, of Jeremiah Robinson, said to have been established in 1789, and the saw mill of Samuel Streeter, both on Mill brook, were the first mills of any kind established here, being mentioned in the records as early as 1791. In 1798 the grist mill was purchased by Joseph Beals, "the Mountain Miller," who managed the business until his death in 1813. - History of the Town of Plainfield, p.68
