St John's Burying Ground
Submitted by Ann on September 30, 2010 at 10:54 AM.
Does anyone know when the cemetery was turned into a park? I have several ancestors and collaterals who were buried in "the burial ground of St. J." around 1809 to 1812, and another 1832. I wonder if people had the option to move the bodies. Thank you for this interesting post and the earlier one, you have solved a mystery.
