PREFACE 
 
 Scattered all over New England are traces of old neglected 
 cem'eteries, often remote from the traveled roads, the monu- 
 ments therein broken and decayed, and perhaps buried by 
 overgrowths and debris. Already many such are completely 
 obliterated, the only evidence of their existence being proved 
 by the plowshare in the hands of a new people, but lately in 
 possession of the soil; a people having little, if any, sentimental 
 interest in the former occupants. 
 
 With the general revival of interest in our ancestors during 
 the past few years, largely induced by the numerous patriotic 
 hereditary societies that have recently sprung into existence, 
 fresh impulses have throbbed in our hearts to honor the 
 memory of the long-departed dead. Many ancient burial- 
 grounds, for years left to the ravages of nature and the destruc- 
 tive hand of the stranger, have been as nearly as possible re- 
 sitored to their pristine condition, and this commendable work 
 is still extending. In this State, laws have recently been en- 
 acted in view of encouraging the restoration of these " God's 
 Acres," and many of our older country towns are availing 
 themselves of the improved opportunities by organizing, with 
 corporate power, for the purpose of renovating the old ceme- 
 teries within their borders. 
 
 Probably in but few of the burying-grounds in New Eng- 
 land are the older stones in a better state of preservation than 
 in the old cemetery at Wethersfield. This is unquestionably 
 due to the sandy nature of the soil, as well as to the fact that few 
 trees have existed to collect those enemies of sandstone and 
 marble, dampness and the consequent mould. 
 
 The inscriptions in the three cemeteries herein referred to 
 as Newington, " Church Street," and " Beckley Quarter "

WETHERSFIELD INSCRIPTIONS 
 
 Wethersfield. 
 
 Located nearly in the center of the present village of Weth- 
 ersfield, and directly in the rear of the old First Church edifice, 
 there rises above the low surrounding country, to an elevation 
 of perhaps twenty feet, a nearly circular sand hill in the midst 
 of a large tract of heavy loam. Proofs are not wanting that 
 this hill was originally a burial-mound of the aborigines of the 
 country. Tradition also tells us that before the advent of the 
 white man the river rose to an unprecedented height, forcing 
 the local inhabitants to encamp upon its summit for a period 
 of several days, who suffered much inconvenience meantime 
 for lack of food; and from henceforth it was known in local 
 nomenclature as " Hungry Hill " — a name fraught with mean- 
 ing to this day. And nowhere in New England can a more 
 beautiful natural location be found for the interment of loved 
 friends, commanding as it does a wonderful prospect of the 
 " Great River " winding for miles through its fertile meadows, 
 with the uplands of Glastonbury in the background. Here, 
 near the little log church, the fathers of the town were laid to 
 rest, and to-day this cemetery, with its subsequent enlarge- 
 ments, is the only one in the present township. It originally 
 embraced the eastern and a part of the western declivity. 
 
 December 27, 1680, " it was voted and agreed that Emanuel 
 Buck shall dig all graves and he is to have foure shillings a pece 
 for growne persons and thre shillings a pece for all others." 
 
 March 24, 1681, a committee appointed for the purpose, 
 reported " that the Townes men with Lieut. Steell layd out the 
 highway from the Street to the burying place on the south side 
 of Zachery Seamers Lott one Rod and quarter wide, haveing 
 first Laid out half an acre to Zachery Seamer, and sett mear 
 stones and Measured Samuell Smiths lott and finding for him

 one Rood and upwards of land." Two years later, in 1683, 
 some controversy having arisen over the boundaries of the 
 yard, a committee was appointed to establish the bounds. De- 
 cember 24, 1684, it was agreed that the plot should be seven 
 rods wide and twenty-three and three-quarters rods long, con- 
 taining a little over an acre. 
 
 The first enlargement was made March 8, 1736, when 
 Nathaniel Burnham, in return for land given him by the town, 
 granted to the Society a piece of land on the west and a 
 narrow strip on the south, thus nearly doubling the area of the 
 original plot. 
 
 The second addition was on January 29, 1760, when the 
 ground was extended on the west by nearly a quarter of an 
 acre, James Mitchell being the grantor. This brought the 
 burial line nearly up to the foundations of the present church 
 edifice, the cornerstone of which was laid May 6, 1761. 
 
 February 25, 1853, the First School Society, into whose 
 hands the care of the property had passed, purchased what is 
 known as the " Clapp extension " on the east, containing a 
 trifle over one and three-quarters acres. 
 
 The last as well as the largest extension in the history of 
 the cemetery occurred on July 22, 1881, when two acres on the 
 south were granted to the School Society by the heirs of the 
 Rev. John Marsh. Only a part of this has as yet been im- 
 proved and laid out in lots, however. The entire area of the 
 cemetery to-day is nearly five and three-quarters acres, con- 
 taining some 1,500 monuments. The earliest stone extant is 
 that of Leonard Chester, who died in 1648, although there were 
 several burials previous to his. Btit two other stones erected 
 prior to 1700 remain to-day, those of Captain John Chester, 
 who died February 23, 1697, and Mrs. Sarah Chester, who 
 died December 12, 1698.

 In May, 1713, the Second, or West, parish of Wethersfield 
 was incorporated, although the church was not organized until 
 October 17, 1722. The inhabitants of this society continued 
 to use the common burying-ground until, on March 7, 1726, 
 upon their petition, the town of Wethersfield granted them 
 " one Acre of Land for a Burying place near their Meeting 
 house or Elsewhere in the half mile Common and to be Laid 
 out by Deacon Jabez Whittlesey, Deacon John Deming and 
 Richard Bordman, who shall bound out the same by sufificient 
 Monuments and Record it to sd society." On December 4, 
 1752, this committee reported that " We have laid out an Acre 
 of Land for said purpose a little north of the meeting house in 
 sd Newington, including the old Burying place, and bounded it 
 out by Sufificient monuments, it being Sixteen Rods in Length 
 East and West, and ten rods in Width North and South." 
 This was apparently sufficient in size for the needs of the parish 
 until December 12, 1842, when Henry Kilbourn sold to the 
 society a small strip on the west, ' measuring 155 links from 
 north to south and 37 links in width from east to west, con- 
 taining nine rods and one hundred and one square feet. Said 
 piece of land is divided into five lots by the Grantees for a 
 burying-ground . " 
 
 November 8, 1843, Henry Kilbourn sold to the School So- 
 ciety, " for the use and benefit of a common Burying Ground," 
 land containing one rood, twenty-two and seven-eighths rods, 
 on the south of the yard. The last addition, which was also 
 the largest, was made December i, 1865, when the School 
 Society purchased of Henry Kilbourn and Samuel N. Rockwell 
 a piece of land on the west, containing one and a half acres, 
 making the present plot nearly three acres in extent. The 
 oldest inscription is on the stone of Lydia, wife of Pelatiab 
 Buck, who died July 29, 1726, | and was " the first that was laid 
 in this yard." The present town of Newington was incor- 
 porated July ID, 1871.

 "Church Street," Newington. 
 
 The Episcopal parish of Wethersfield and Worthington was 
 chartered September 14, 1797, the application being signed by 
 David Steele and seven others. The edifice was erected at 
 the south end of Church street, on the east side, was 50x40 
 feet in dimensions, and was called " Christ's Church." A 
 cemetery was laid out across the street from the church, and 
 for nearly thirty yeairs the inhabitants of that faith within a 
 radius of ten miles met here for worship and burial. This 
 was in the southwest part of Newington. The building was 
 sold for one hundred and fifteen dollars by the committee to 
 Jabez Dickinson, November 17, 1826, and a few years later 
 the society located in New Britain, where it is now known as 
 " St. Mark's." The earliest stone bears the date August 27, 
 1803, and is that of Sophia, daughter of David and Lucy 
 Gilbert. The yard is practically abandoned to-day as a place 
 of burial, the last interment having been in August, 1886, 
 though one or two families in the, neighborhood own lots there, 
 in which they bury their dead.

 Glastonbury. 
 
 The present town of Glastonbury, lying on the east side of 
 the Connecticut River, did not become separated from the 
 mother town until October, 1693, ^^ which time the church was 
 organized, although its incorporation dates from May, 1690. 
 On May 4, 1692, two of the inhabitants, Samuel Smith and 
 John Hubbard, granted to the town a plot of ten acres for the 
 erection of a meeting-house and for a burying-ground. The 
 only enlargement of this cemetery was in 1867, when two acres 
 were added on the east. The earliest stone is that of Eunice 
 (Chester) Stevens, wife of the Rev. Timothy Stevens, dated 
 June 4, 1698. The following inscriptions were intended to in- 
 clude only those who were born previous to the separation in 
 1693, although for convenience they comprise all born before 
 1700.
