History of the Burying Ground of North Haven
"At the first settlement in the eighteenth century of the 'north east village' - the part of New Haven that was to become North Haven - there was no church, meeting house or burying ground. The residents of the village had to travel about ten miles to the Meeting House in New Haven for all their religious and most of the political meetings. All of their dead, except for four internments at Montowese, were buried on the New Haven Green." The oldest tombstone in the Old North Cemetery is dated 1723.
