Benjamin, Dorinda with sons Lysander, Alonzo and Nelson, arrived in Springwater on the 20th of March 1817. The following year, 1818, their daughter Adeline was born, then followed by DeWitt in 1820 and Henry in 1822.

Benjamin was a carpenter and joiner by trade and as of this writing, there still stands, a number of the original buildings that he built. He was the first to built the frame stile structures, in homes and barns in Springwater. I have been fortunate enough, to have photographed a number of these structures for our family history. I am a direct descendant of Azor Cole (5th great grandfather), father-in-law of Benjamin Snyder, (5th great uncle) and I am related to many of the earliest settlers in Springwater. I am related to everyone who is buried in this cemetery.

This large monument stands alone. There is no information listed on it, and there are no other visible headstones in close proximity.

Regarding this cemetery, my photos were taken in October of 2008. Green Gull Cemetery was VERY overgrown at that time, and there had been no upkeep within this cemetery from at least the 1960's, when I with my grandparents visited. Many stones that where there then, were not there in 2008. There was much damage to many smaller stones by way of weatherization, falling trees, and vandalism.
