Tombstone Inscriptions from Hunterdon County Cemeteries. [Various Researchers; Undated,] Sandy Ridge Cemetery Copied August 2nd, 1917, by Egbert T. Bush and Hiram E. Deats This cemetery adjoins the Sandy Ridge Baptist Church, which was constituted October 24, 1818, although the first building was completed some months before, and religious services maintained for some years previously, at least as early as 1812. The first internment was that of Rebecca Doyle, who died April 24, 1819. It is two miles northeast of Stockton, in Delaware Township, which was set off from Amwell Township in 1838.

It is located on the Old York Road, a half mile east of the village of Ringoes, and in East Amwell Township. Originally it was a German Reformed Church, with services in German. The first house is believed to have been built of logs. The second, spoken of as "The Old Stone House," stood on the north side of the present graveyard. The deed for the property is dated Jan. 21, 1749, from James Whittaker to William Kane, Peter Hoffman and William Bellowsfelt, "Trustees to and for the Calvinistical High Dutch Congregation, in the Township of Amwell." The last German paston was Rev. John Jacob Wack, whose length of service is not definitely known, but approximately 1798-1805, perhaps later. He was the first pastor to conduct services in English. In 1810 this congregation united with the "Amwell First Presbyterian," (now at Reaville), and so continued until 1818, when the union was dissolved, and the present building erected, but this church retained the title of "Amwell United First." Here in 1816 the Hunterdon County Bible Society was organized, and here its centennial anniversary was also observed. As four years have elapsed since the inscriptions were copied, the list was checked in October 1922, and stones erected since were added. A few stones copied in 1918 were not to be found in 1922, but are included here. Lake, Charles R., Nov. 3, 1889, 76-3-18. Lake, Hannah, wf. Charles R., May 28, 1808, 93-11-24. Lake, Mary P., dr.
