Cyndy  > History > Connecticut > HARTFORD: Center Church Burying Ground
The original burying ground of the settlers cannot be found so the next best thing is the oldest surviving burial ground.
There are NO stones PRIOR 1709

This marker was at the front (north) entrance....it is a
monument to the Black African Americans from 1640-1810, that was done by the Hartford school children.
In front of this was a huge plaque lying flat on the ground with
at least 100 persons.........the reason I use the term "persons"
is because many had no name and were listed as :
"child"..."servant"....."Maid"...etc. with their dates of birth and death or just date of death. I tried fitting the plaque into the frame of the camera but there was just no way I could and still be able to read it.
