Bradford Burying Ground
 

Bradford Burying Ground, Bradford, Massachusetts;

Carl(e)ton

 

This old burying ground was used in the first settlement of the town, and remained the only cemetery until 1723, when the East parish (now the town of Groveland) burial ground was created.

 

Names below are from The Essex Antiquarian read in 1901. The following are all the stones with inscriptions bearing dates prior to 1800.  For names who do not have a link the stone is no longer standing or is undecipherable. I have included the inscription from the 1901 reading.
