Porters Retreat Cemetery Alias Mary Vale Old Cemetery

The old cemetery at Porters Retreat, also known as the Mary Vale Old cemetery is documented back to 1856 and was in use until 1889. It is situated in a western paddock of the “Mary Vale” property. Because of the harshness of the location (on a stony hill) and the improvidence of the times, no headstone marks any grave. We would be grateful if any reader who could have had family connections with the Porters Retreat area in that 40 year period would examine any death certificates they may have and supply us with any information  they may find. We have found the wording is usually “buried at Mary Vale”, but there are variations. One in 1859 is recorded “buried at Coote Hill” (the original name for Mary Vale). In 1869 “buried at Little River” is used as is “buried at Mount Mary” in 1871.In that period “Little River” also referred to the private Clayton Cemetery at Arkstone, where it overlooks the Little River. To add to the confusion the current Porters Retreat Cemetery is often called the “Little River” Cemetery because of its location near Little River on the Oberon Taralga Road.

 

Some of the people buried in Mary Vale Old Cemetery 1856 - 1889 are:

KIRWIN John b 1846 d 1856, aged 10, Cecilia b 1847 d 1856 aged 9, Sarah b 1848 d 1856 aged 8,

Anne b 1851 d 1856 aged 5 sons and daughters of Martin and Sarah KIRWIN

COSGROVE (nee TRACEY) Cecelia b 1787 (Ireland) d 1858 wife of David COSGROVE aged 71

CLAYTON (nee FOX) Margaret b 1810 (Ireland) d 1859 wife of John CLAYTON aged 49

HACKETT (nee FITZSIMMONS) Ann b 1770 (Ireland) d 1860 Wife of Patrick FOX (1st) James HACKETT (2nd) aged 90.

COSGROVE (nee CLAYTON) Ellen b 1838 d 1860 wife of John COSGROVE aged 22.

MALONEY Daniel Joseph b 1857 d 1862 Son of Daniel and Ann aged 4¾.

MACKEY (nee KIRWIN) Mary Anne b 1844 d 1869 wife of Timothy MACKEY aged 25.

COSGROVE David b 1784 (Ireland) d 1871 husband of Cecelia aged 87.

KIRWIN Martin (Jnr) b 1855 d 1874 Son of Martin and Sarah aged 18.

MALONEY James Thomas b 1859 d 1876 Son of Daniel and Ann aged 16½.

MALONEY Michael John b 1852 d 1878  Son of Daniel and Ann aged 26

KIRWIN Martin (Snr)  b 1817 d 1889 husband of Sarah aged 72

Any help would be appreciated.
