Note: This cemetery is officially known as the Jenkins-Harding Cemetery. The land for the cemetery was given by Judge John Jenkins shortly after the Wyoming Massacre. Benjamin and Stukely (two brothers, not one individual as it appears in the table) were the first two people buried in this cemetery.
They were killed by Indians on June 30, 1778, and are considered the first two victims of the Wyoming Massacre (July 3, 1778).
On an interesting note, the Harding stones were moved several feet to the West when Wyoming Avenue was straightened -- the bodies were left in place "as not to disturb the rest of the dead." However, when the tracks were laid for an electric streetcar, an electric pole was driven through Stephen's
grave.
