The Bickford family plot is located on the abandoned Trask farm. It was impossibly to reach it as the road leading to it is unpassable with fallen trees and growing shrubs.
A while ago I was contacted by a lady that was doing research on the Bickford cemeteries. She has given me permission to include her findings here. Instead of rewriting what she has told me I am going to let her tell this in her own words.
From Ella VanCamp:
Hi ... I just got back from New Hampshire ... and I found 2 Bickford cemeteries off of Trask Hill Rd.!!
I had contacted Jeff Burrows who is one of the cemetery trustees in
Sandwich, as well as the mailman! I figured he might be able to help me. He was able to copy a little information from a book he had. He included a 1931 map for us to follow. We were skeptical that the map would do us any good, but we went to North Sandwich anyway. We found that a new home had been built off of Trask Hill Rd. No one was home on Saturday when we went there. We looked around for a while and found what we thought was described online, but didn't hike in very far because we didn't have long pants on. We went back the next day and talked to the people in the house. She told us where she had seen a sign on a tree on the old Bickford Place down the road and around the corner. We drove there and found the sign on the tree. It read:
Bickford Place
James Brier Pre-1844
2 Owners
Addie Bickford died in childbirth 1894
John Bickford died in poverty
Henry Dorr 1900
White Mountain Paper Company 1901
The owner from the house who we talked with told us we would not find any headstones there. After reading the sign, we decided to hike up the hill a little further to look around. We found what looked to be an opening wide enough to have once been a road. We hike up the hill further and found a sign on the tree which said, Bickford Cemetery! And there was one headstone there. It read:
Mother
Addie Bickford
1862-1894
We noticed there were four 18' pipes (approximately) laying on the ground to form a square around the headstone. We assumed this was the entire cemetery plot. We didn't find any other smaller stones in the plot, but we didn't have any tools to dig around and move the leaves, etc. So, there may have been more, but we didn't see any.
We decided to leave and go back to the opening we had seen the day before on the other side of the road, which according to our 1931 map was the Trask farm area. My son and I hiked in about a half mile going through lots of tall ferns and around a fallen tree. We split up briefly and when I came to a "T" in the path, my son called from the right that he had found a sign. It read:
BI
SPRUCE
We could not make out the rest of the sign. It was a white sign with the above letters hand written on it in what looked to be a blue permanent marker. After studying the sign for a few minutes, I looked up and said to my son, "Look behind you." There was a row of stakes in the ground each with a first name on written down the side in white paint! There were 13 stakes all together. Each stake was about 1 1/4 inch square and stood about 3 feet out of the ground. They were all in one line. There was also some blue plastic tape stretched between the trees on each side of the sign ... in an attempt to show people where to enter the 'cemetery'. The names on the stakes were as follows ... as we passed the sign and walked toward the first of 13 stakes in a row:
RACHEL
NATHAN
SIENA
MARISA
JENNIFER C.
NICHOLAS (We had to look closely at this one because the paint was
faded on the stake.)
SARAH
JENNIFER B.
MICHAEL
MELISSA
JONATHAN
SAMANTHA
MATHEW
Isn’t that cool? We could not find any dates any place around the area. There was also a very large boulder near the first couple of stakes, but we didn't see anything etched on it either.
Thought you might want to hear about what we found on the old Trask farm and the old Bickford farm ... both located off Trask Hill Road in North Sandwich, New Hampshire. I hope to see if I can research more about these two places and come up with some dates. Talk to you later. Ella Van Camp

The Gilman's were the next residents of the farm. There was no relation to the Fellows. The Gilman family is noted on a large monument stone incised with multiple names and dates on all sides.
James Gilman b. before 1769 probably in Brentwood, NH to Daniel & Alice (Leavitt) Gilman d.?

Theophilus b. circa 1791- d. Nov. 12, 1853, age 62, was the actual owner of the farm.
He fell into a vat of boiling water while skinning a pig in the barnyard and died three days later.
wife Hannah ( was Hannah Hurd b. Rochester, NH circa 1813 dau. of Reuben & Mary (Varney) After her
husband Theophilus died she remarried Albert F. Irving "from over on Sandwich Notch".
He was not a good farmer/businessman, and they ended up having to sell the place after selling off one of the barns to a
neighbor. Hannah is not buried with Theophilus although her name is on the monument. She and her second
husband Albert Irving are buried in the nearby Quaker Cemetery on Stevenson Hill Road in North Sandwich. d.?
infant son d. Feb. 15, 1851
son Amos H. d. June 9, 1857
The elderly mother of Theophilus (born 1791) was Martha and she lived with them.
Her husband James probably is buried in Meredith, but his name is on the stone because Martha is called "wife of James Gilman".
Two graves with uninscribed field stones.
There are various depressions in the eastern section of the neat cemetery. Obviously there are more buried there than there are stones.
The cemetery book maintains that the Fellows Cemetery is "in the field on the beautiful property "Homewood" owned by Frank A. Neff." This is definitely wrong. "Homewood" was the farm to the east and whose field was a good 800 feet from the cemetery. In 1930 when the cemetery book was compiled, the Fellows Cemetery was on property that was a summer place owned by writer Cornelius Weygandt of Pennsylvania. His family owned the property from 1914 to 1999. it is now owned by Frank and Deborah Wilson.
Note: Many corrections for this cemetery and additions are all thanks to Debbie Wilson.
