The intersection of Dunbar Road and Hamlin Parma Townline Road is known as Wright’s Corners, named after the Wright family. The area was settled by four brothers from Oneida County – Barber, Nathan, Gad Jr. and Jesse Wright. These four brothers, together with their families, four sisters and their mother Elizabeth White Wright, arrived between 1810 and 1812. This pioneer cemetery was established by, and is located on property originally owned by the Wright family.

The cemetery, located on the east side of Hamlin Parma Townline Road, was used for burials of local residents between the 1830’s and 1930. Over the years, the cemetery fell into disrepair, but was restored in 1976 for the Bicentennial of the Town of Parma. The wrought iron fence was added at a later date, but you can still see a portion of the original stone wall that surrounded the cemetery.
