Graveyard Ridge, Lake County, CA

Submitted by Anita Crabtree 


Graveyard Ridge - Information came mostly from Henry Mauldin's Historical Notes. He was Lake 
County's first Historian, and devoted over 20 years to compiling interviews, etc. of history.

The names listed below are just a guess. An interview with a lady gave the information that 
she remembered going to the burial place in Cobb Valley, as a small child. It was south and 
above the Cobb Valley road, on a small rise and there were many small pine trees. 

It is thought that this was the original cemetery for Cobb Valley. In cleaning up under the brush 
on this ridge, the remains of a small, old cemetery were found. There were a few sunken 
depressions, as if the bodies had been removed, and a small picket enclosure. There are a few 
names that might have been buried in this burial ground. 

All of the below are the children of Moses Quesenberry, who was born Aug. 24, 1818 in 
Greenville, Kentucky. He lived to be 93 years old. 

QUESENBERRY (Queensbury), Zacharay Taylor 
FINE, Jane Quesenberry 
QUESENBERRY, Possibly 2 children
