The land for the North Sudbury Cemetery was purchased from Reuben Haynes in 1843 and consisted of one and six-tenths acres on the road from Framingham to Concord, now Pantry Road. The carriage way, which encircled the lot as described by Hudson, is still evident although the paths are no longer visible. In 1889 Hudson stated that there were 211 persons buried here and that lots were twenty-four by thirty feet. Probably this refers to the approximate squared areas marked by granite curbing within which there are several stones.
The first person to be buried here was Sumner Haynes (d. 1843), son of Josiah Haynes, Jr. and Mary Haynes. However, several who died before 1843 are also buried here such as the daughter of Leander and Harriet Haynes who died in 1839 and the daughter of Israel and Ruth Hunt who died in 1817. Most likely this was a family cemetery and it was in 1843 that the land was purchased and formally incorporated as a cemetery.
The cemetery was expanded to the opposite side of the road (New North Cemetery), however, for the purposes of historical identification documentation is limited to the lot on the east side which represents the original cemetery.
The cemetery sits on 1.46 acres. There are approximately 400 headstones. The earliest death date is c. 1830s, the latest late 1900s, with a few in the 2000s.
The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as SUD.801 North Sudbury Cemetery.
