FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH YARD

Corner of Centre and Bridge Streets

Trenton,New Jersey

 

Copied Apr. 27, 1943, by Mrs. Alfred P.S. Bellis,

Morrisville, Pennsylvania, from records

in the possession of the Congregation

Of the First Baptist Church

Several years ago the gravestones in this churchyard, were buried in the graves over which they had been erected, or in some cases set in the lower masonry of the walls of the Church and the Sunday School buildings. At this time a plan of the yard was made and on it was indicated the exact locations of the bodies interred therein. The numbers following the names listed refer to corresponding numbers on the plan, a blue print of which is filed in the Church vault, along with the records of the inscriptions found on the gravestones. In cases where time had obliterated the inscriptions, or where uninscribed fieldstones marked the places of burial the graves were numbered on the plan and noted in the records. However, these unknown dead are not included in the list as given below. There were, when these stones buried, 463 graves in this churchyard.
