Today my mother and I decided to look for some graves of our ancestors in Rhode Island. We went to the Pocasset Cemetery in Cranston, Rhode Island. It is a suburb of Providence. I did know that my great-grand parents were buried somewhere in or near Providence. My Uncle Jimmy told me which cemetery to go to, and I was anxious to go. I haven't known much about my family's history until recently. He told me that my great-grandmother arrived in Boston, Massachusetts on a ship from Liverpool, England. It was November 28, 1880 and it was her fifth birthday. Her parents, Samuel and Mary (Standring) Jackson had 10 or 11 children. I do wonder how many came with them from England. The cemetery has 25,000 burials and has three sections. We had no idea where to start looking in there. We drove into the back of the cemetery. My mother decided to take a right because that part seemed like the old section. There were some areas that had just a few gravestones here and there, yet
