About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

A number of early burials appear as 'Old Baptist' or '10th and King'. The location is described in Zebley's 'The Churches of Delaware' as being located at 1008 King St. The meeting house faced 10th Street and a graveyard was laid out extending back to French St.

The land was described as being next to the 'Poor's Burying Ground'. The 'Potter's Field' of the day (1784 - 1811) was located on the 11st St end of the block. On 10 Apr 1913 the property was sold to make way for the City and County building. This necessitated the removal of the bodies from the graveyard.

The burials are listed in the death records as 'Old Baptist', 'Baptist' or '10th and King'.

No trace of the original cemetery remains.
