Add PhotosDescribed as the old grave-yard on the hill, on the south side of the Lehigh, near the intersection of second and Ottawa Streets. The spot was plowed over in the early part of the 19th century.
Mentioned in the book titled, "The Old Sun Inn, at Bethlehem, Pa., 1758: Now the Sun Hotel: An Authentic History", published in 1873.
Not sure where that intersection would be now.
The graveyard was located on rising ground, some thirty rods due south from the great spring...yet the big spring was noted as being about forty rods due north from the grave-yard. The graveyard was shown as a small enclosure in the center of woods.
There were 19 official records for people buried there between January 12th 1747 and October 9th 1767...but there were others, including some soldiers during the time of the Revolutionary War.
