West Clarendon Cemetery, also known as Chippenhook Cemetery, is located on Walker Mountain Road. This is just outside Clarendon, Vermont. Transcripton of stones and photos provided by Doug Wescott.
The first is a headstone about eight feet tall, very impressive. The first face reads: Amos Wescott Died Oct. 30, 1884 Aged 75 Yrs.
I make him to be #606 in the aforementioned book.
Second face reads:
Sophina (My notes say it was spelled this way, although her name was Sophrina.) Wife of Amos Wescott Died Nov. 30, 1884 Aged 73 yrs. ——————– Arunah C. Wescott Oct. 13 1835 Oct. 22 1906
The third face reads:
ORE A wife of W. H. Wescott Born Nov 20 1842 Died Apr. 19 1903 ————–
W. Henry Wescott (I take him to be Amos’ son, #1003) Co. C, 7th Vt. Inf. Born Dec. 28 1837 Died March 12, 1910
The fourth face is empty. And this headstone has WESCOTT in big letters around a base, as you will see in the picture.

Welthy Wife of J’eh WESCOTT DIED Aug 26, 1865 AE 78 YRS.

Jeremiah Wescott (he being #368 in The Book.) Died Aug 5, 1856 AE 73.

Also buried there are the following, though I don’t have pictures:
In memory of George Westcot (only one T on the end) Who died Jan. 11th 1799 in the 37 year of his Age (This I believe is #207 in the book of Westcotts.)
George W. Son of Jeremiah & Wealthy WESTCOTT died April 6, 1825 aged 11 years
Phebe Jane daughter of Jeremiah & Weltha WESCOT died May 1, 1837 aged 13 years & 5 months
DIANA daughter of George W & OLIVE WESCOT died April 21 1838, aged 18 years (I take her to be the daughter of Jeremiah’s brother George, George being #369 in the book.)
The headstones of George (#207), George W, Phebe Jane, Diana, Welthy, and Jeremiah, stand side by side, from left to right as I’ve listed them. The monument of Amos Wescott is somewhat removed, but visible from anywhere in this small cemetery.
One last headstone:
Amos J. Wescott (He is the son of W. Henry Wescott, #1003) 1877 – 1923 His Wife Hellen Potter (My notes read two L’s) 1883 – 1976 (yes, this is what my notes say, 1976)
