Burying Ground of the First Settlers

Notes:
Originally laid out “some distance to the rear of the meeting house,” this was the first burying ground for the colonists of Newbury and was used, according to the Sons and Daughters of the First Settlers of Newbury website, for some 150 years. “Mary & John” is the name of the ship from England that brought these settlers to Boston in 1634, some of whom then went on to Ipswich and Newbury. Even after the town center moved north in 1646, and the First Parish Burying Ground was established shortly thereafter, the first burying ground remained in use. Many Ilsleys, Doles, and Plummers were buried here. The last to be buried was Judith Ilsley, in 1794.
