Notes:
The reference to "City Burial Ground" is perhaps to the cemetery that today is usually known as the Grove Street Cemetery, the first chartered burial ground in the United States, succeeding the previous common burial site, the New Haven Green.
It was first known as the "New Burying Ground in New Haven" and later modified to the "New Haven City Burial Ground." By the 1870s, however, the site was familiarly called "The Grove Street Cemetery," and that name has since become commonplace. In 1849, a second cemetery was organized in New Haven, known as the "Evergreen Cemetery."
The first burial at this cemetery was that of Martha Townsend. It took place on November 9, 1797. The last burial there occurring in 1812 [?]. Gravestones from the earlier Green burying ground were eventually moved there. Persons with death dates earlier than 1797 could not have been initially interred in this cemetery, but perhaps their gravestones were later moved there.
If there are cemeteries in New Haven that predate the interments that took place on the New Haven Green, then the Grove Street cemetery, I have not yet found references to it.
