Old Daggett Burial Ground
| Jackson Township Page |
| Formatted & Published by Joyce M. Tice 1997 |
Located in Jackson Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania on the south edge of
the hamlet of Daggett on a small wooded rise on the east side of the main road
(Route 549) and north of Seeley Creek (also known as Daggett Creek). This is
where the first settlers in the vicinity of Daggett were buried. There are
several plain markers bearing no inscriptions. It is reported that some Jennings
markers and others were washed away when high water from the flooded creek cut
into the cemetery. The earliest inscribed date of death is 1815. All spellings
in the verses are as they appear. I have included the footmarkers that were
found and correspond with the headstone markers. Copied 1979 by J. Kelsey Jones.
