The Boston Graves Cemetery dates back to at least 1838. There is a page for this cemetery on the website FindAGrave.com. That page has a listing of the 10 known interments, and the oldest one is for Daniel Graves, birth date unknown, and death date October 7, 1838. According to the page on FindAGrave.com, the cemetery appears to be named after another person buried there, Sebastian "Boston" Graves, born October 1, 1747 in Berks County, PA and died April 1, 1840 in Knox County, TN. He was a Revolutionary War soldier and apparently was at the Battle of Kings Mountain, which took place on October 7, 1780 in South Carolina.
