     In 1983 Meg Powden filed a rough gravestone map and name index of this cemetery with the Peacham town clerk and in 1993 Richard & Jeanne Partington provided the Groton town clerk with a preliminary transcription, which included full names and year died.
     This project completes the transcript, includes age at d., calculated DOBs, corrects information which could not be properly read before the stones were cleaned, and includes a map revised in 2007. The map includes numbers for fieldstones. Meg and Richard each created their own numbering system for these stones; I have followed Meg's assignments for the sole reason that the Peacham Town Clerk had already incorporated her grave numbers in his official vital & grave record indexes.
     When most of these burials occured, titles such as "Mr", were only used to signify social rank; therefore I have included them whenever present on the stones.
     I have also inserted an apostrophe before superscripted lettering because not all printers/typewriters/browsers use the same coding to reproduce this effect.
     Sections A, B, C, D are in the town of Groton; sections E, F, G, H are in Peacham.

   Copies of this map and index have been placed with the Peacham & Groton Town Clerks, the Peacham Historical Society, and the Vermont Historical Society for preservation.

NOTE:
   *  In old style lettering, a "soft" "S" was written like an "f", without the crossbar - I have substituted an "f" - as modern computer fonts fail to provide this character.
   *  a slash "/" indicates the end of a line of engraving on the gravestone.
   *  blue Stone #s indicate gs sketched or photographed - click to view.
   *  DOBs followed by an "a" are calculated from the DOD on the gravestone minus the AGE on the gravestone.
   *  [bracketed italics] indicate the info is from other vital or town records; but was not actually on the stone (this info is added to identify the deceased when the info on the stone is illegible or insufficient).
   *  WMM = white marble monolith.
   *  Soap = soapstone with square-shoulders & tympanium.
   *  fs = monolithic footstone of white marble.
   *  rfs = roundtopped footstone of soapstone.
