It was in 1772 that a committee was appointed to 'fix a place or places for burying grounds;. In 1776, three gravediggers were appointed and according to Reverend Samuel Orcutt, this indicates the existence of three graveyards. The men appointed were Mr. John Barrett at the Center (Cemetery) and he had already been there for several years, Mr. Zodac Bronson at the Northeast (Pike's Cemetery), and Mr. David Frost at the South East. Orcutt goes on to state that, 'the earliest inscription of any monument is at Pike's Hill yard, dated May 28, 1776. The earliest date in the South East yard is January 1, 1782.
