Meloon Plot, Riverside Cemetery, New Castle, NH
WILLIAM AMAZEEN MELOON was born in New Castle, NH on 27 Nov 1795, the son of Abraham and Elizabeth (Marden) Meloon. He died on 27 Nov 1842, and is buried in Riverside Cemetery, New Castle, NH.

He was married on 29 Oct 1818 to MARY LEAR, She was born 25 June 1805, the daughter of Nathaniel and Keziah (Amazeen) Lear. She died on 28 Feb 1873, aged 72 yrs, 8 mos, and is buried with her husband in Riverside Cem. She had remarried in 1855 to Phillip Yeaton.

William and Mary share this plot with their son William A Jr and his family.




In 1825 [Rock Deeds, v.326 p.465], William A Meloon purchased the land and buildings thereon of his late father Abraham Meloon from the other heirs in his family. He also bought a small piece of adjoining land from Henry Amazeen [Rock Deeds v.252 p.451], who was his neighbor in 1827.

Below is an 1857 map of New Castle, the former William A Meloon Sr. property circled in red, his sons (William A and Alfred) now occupying the land. Later maps and deeds show these houses to be located a bit further to the northeast, so this map seems a bit off (unless homes were later moved). These houses still stand today.
