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.

On an all-but-forgotten bit of land, under shaded trees, with the slate blue stones settling gently into the earth, is this cemetery, a gift to the Town of Sherborn from Joseph Perry Esquire, March 7, 1785. The first person to be buried there was Luther Perry, February 22, 1785. He had died at age 21, having three years service behind him at that young age. His Uncle Joseph Perry, who had given the land, did not die until April, 1789, in the 88th year of his life.

This cemetery contains about 30 headstones. The earliest death date is 1785, the latest 1885.

The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as SHR.804 Brush Hill Cemetery.

This cemetery is referred to as GR4 Brush Hill Cemetery in the "Vital Records of Sherborn Massachusetts to the end of the year 1849."
