Additional Info:

Pettit Cemetery:

This burial ground is located north of West Lake Road in the West Lake community. Daniel Pettit, a soldier in the Royal Army who had come to Canada from Long Island, NY, was granted 200 acres by the Crown. He used some of this for a burying ground, but a burial stone dated 1799 indicates the land had already been in use as a cemetery. The Pettit family was prominent in Prince Edward County during the late 19th century. William Varney Pettit, grandson of Daniel Pettit, was elected to Dominion Parliament in June 1896 and later served as postmaster in Picton. The cemetery is no longer in use.

Notes

How to Submit Photos for Caleb Platt

Until such time as a photo "Drag and Drop" function has been added to Cemsearch, here is the way to prepare your photos for inclusion in our database:

• IMPORTANT: FIRST select the person in Cemsearch for whom you want to add a photo, then re-open this help screen.

• You currently have selected Caleb Platt. You can submit photos for his plot's monument(s) or personal photos of just him.

• On your computer, locate the file(s) of the photo(s) you want to submit for Caleb Platt.

• DO NOT make duplicate photos of the same side of a stone for each person shown on it. For example, if husband and wife are both shown on one stone image, DO NOT make two copies of this image; only one is required.

• For MONUMENT Pictures, do the following:
• Copy this code: PEHL10ST0040; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code PEHL10ST0040; is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.

• For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
• Copy this code: PEHL10ST0040^0; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code PEHL10ST0040^0; is SPECIFIC to Caleb Platt and your picture(s) prefixed with this code will appear ONLY for him.

• HINT: for convenience, these codes also appear below the Born/Died dates where you can click on them to automatically copy them.

• ATTACH photos (full size; if you can, limit to about 1-2 megabytes in size) with the prefixed filename to an email and send to: helpus@cemsearch.ca.

• If you have further details that you would like included in the "Notes" section, add them to the email as well.
