Publisher's Notice

HE publishing of this book is the result of a wish I have long entertained of placing in permanent form and thus preserving the rapidly disappear- ing inscriptions upon the tombstones of my native town. Mr. Charles Thomas Payne, of New York City, a descendant of a number of the families who founded the Town of Litch- field, cordially seconded my desires, and spent several summers transcribing them. This he has faithfully done for all prior to 1900. and many later inscriptions have been gathered.

1 am pleased to acknowledge the hearty response to my cir- cular for subscribers.

The cuts were photographed by Sherry and Karl, and en- graved by the Hartford Engraving Co. The mechanical work was done by the Waterbury Blank Book Mfg. Co., and it is all as nearly possible a local undertaking.

With a hope that it will be a valuable addition to our Town's history, and of interest to all it is now presented to the public.

Preface

THIS book is merely a collection of the inscriptions on gravestones and monuments in all the ceme- teries of that area comprising what was Litch- field Town before 1859. In that year nearly half of the Township, then know-n as the Society or Parish of the South Farms, was formed into the Town of Morris. The purpose of such a book is necessarily directed toward increasing knowledge of the past of Litchfield. So from the standpoint of the historian or the genealogist, any comprehensive data of this sort must include what may be known of Morris as well as Litchfield as it is now. The inscriptions contained here are believed to be complete to the year 1900. and a number have been added from tombs and monuments erected since that date.

Before each list of inscriptions found in the several grave- yards I have inserted something of their history ; and nowhere is the quaintness of old New England life better shown than in these dealings of man concerning his dead.

Enough has been said in other books, of the good and the great who lie sleeping here ; they need not my hand to point their names or celebrate their virtues.

To Dwight Canfield Kilboum, Esq., I confess my deep obli- gation ; and credit is due him not only for publishing this book but for many suggestions which I have followed in its preparation.

Charles Thomas Payne. August. 1902.

West Burying Ground

This is the earHest of the burial places in Litchfield, and its establishment was nearly contemporaneous with the founding of the Town. The first notice of it appears in Volume One of the Land Records, as follows :

"An aconipt of the High Ways In Litchfield In 1723. . . .the 2'^ high Way Runing East and West between Samuel Smedly his home Lott and the Widow aliens home Lott of twenty eight Rods in bredth Sixty Rods West and then is twelue Rods Wide down to the swamp and then is laid out but six rods Wide thorou the swamp Which highway runs on the West side of the letle plain buting north upon Land Laid out to John Gay to make up the fifteen acres for his home Lott and so con- tinue! a West Line until it comes to the swamp or flooded Lands and all the Land upon the letele playn South of said highway to the swamp or flooded land which is not yet Laid out is Resarued and Laid out for a burying place Which high- way at the West End of the litle plain or burying place runs six Rods Wide throro the swamp and acrose the hill called buck's Neak With the same corce and bredth until it comes to the pine plain Which high Way is Called by the name of Mid- diel Street."

Here were interred nearly all of the pioneers of Litchfield, and the yard remained the principal burial ground of the Town until the Revolution.

Eafly in the Nineteenth Century a large tract was added on the western side.

East Burying Ground

This has become the largest of the cemeteries in the town- ship, although it was the third one to be established, and was at first, as it noted below, a part of the highway set apart for the purpose. It lies half a mile east of the Court-house. The fol- lowing record in the first town book is of interest :

"Sept 26, 1754 At the same Meeting Mess" Samuel

Colver Joshua Garritt & Edward Phelps were chosen com'" to lay out a Burying Place in the East Side of the Town where & how much they shall think proper."

The laying out of this ground is recorded in the land records under date of Jan. 12, 1755:

"Whereas the town of Litchfield did at their annual Meeting choose and appoint us the subscribers to lay out some land in some of our Highways suitable for a burying Place pursuant to the abovesaid vote of the Town We have laid out one Acre wanting sixteen Rods upon the Plain upon the west side of the Mill River upon the North Side of the Path that leads to Chestnut Hill Beginning at a Heap of Stones about fifteen Rods West from said River from thence running West twelve Rods to a Maple Staddle with stones about it thence North twelve Rods to a Heap of Stones then East twelve Rods then a straight Line to the first Bounds and Buts North upon James Kilbourn's Pike Lot the same is to lye & remain for the Use of a burying Place laid out & bounded upon the Tenth Day of January 1755.

Joshua Garritt Samuel Colver Edward Phelps Comt«"

Dec. 15. 1767. "Voted That Timothy Marsh have the use and improvement of the burying place near the grist mill be- longing to Col' Eben Marsh during the towns pleasure."

EAST BURYING GROUND 55

In 1837 the yard was enlarged upon its western side by an addition of sixteen rods. The next year further extention was made on the northern side, and the town voted a part of the highway for the same purpose. The stone wall in front of the ground on East Street was built about 1850 by subscrip- tion.

Within fifteen years a corporation known as the Litchfield Cemetery Association has purchased a tract of land between the ancient yard and Torrington Road and has laid it out with much care. Many fine monuments have been erected upon the new ground.

In the southeast comer of the old burying yard lie a great number of Revolutionary soldiers who died during the war, and were buried here without any distinguishing marks.
