The twenty thousand acres of the Remsheg Grant covers a large area. There were 109 farm lots of 200 acres each. As far as can be determined there were no official cemeteries or monuments here before the arrival of the Loyalists. Present day there is over 70 Cemetries or Graveyards in and around the area granted to the Loyalists. Because of distances or religious practices the Loyalists were buried in several different sites.The most common sites associated with the Loyalists are the Dotten Cemetery on the Dotten Property in Fanningboro and the Pioneer Cemetery in Wallace Bay.
