[This is a DEFUNCT cemetery. The cemetery was conveyed to the town of No. Providence in 1791. In 1891 the Providence City Council condemned the site for public purposes. The bodies [many of whom were of historical importance] were removed to the North Burial Ground in Providence and marked with a single monument. No individual names are listed on the monument, and the only transcription on record is the Arnold survey of 1890. In August of 1900, the original site became Admiral Hopkins Square.


Original location: The triangle formed by Charles St., Branch Ave. and Hawkins St.


Surveyed by:

[1] James N. Arnold [22 Sep 1890]


102 burials

42 inscriptions are listed on the master index: Admiral Esek Hopkins Burial Ground


Note: Many, but not all, of the interments are double-listed on the master index at NP500 "Admiral Esek Hopkins Burial Ground" Listed as a "lost" cemetery in N. Providence. None of the individuals indexed for either of the above are listed at North Burial Ground.
