In 1983 Meg Powden filed a gravestone map and name index of this cemetery with the town clerk. This project adds as much of the inscriptions as can still be read to her work. To complicate the task, some stones are today not in the same location where Meg placed them on her map. Whenever I renumbered a grave (to keep family groups together), the old number follows in (Parenthesis).
When most of these burials occured, titles such as "Mr", were only used to signify social rank; therefore I have included them whenever present on the stones.
I have also inserted an apostrophe before superscripted lettering because not all printers/typewriters/browsers use the same coding to reproduce this effect.
a slash "/" indicates the end of a line of engraving on the gravestone.
blue Stone #s indicate gs sketched or photographed - click to view.
DOBs followed by an "a" are calculated from the DOD on the gravestone minus the AGE on the gravestone.
[bracketed italics] indicate the info is from other vital or town records; but, not actually on the stone (this info is added to identify the deceased when the info on the stone is illegible or insufficient).
