SEPTEMBER, 1892. Dedicated to the Memory of Norwalk's First Ancestors BY DAVID H. VAN HOOSEAR, WILTON, CONN. (P. O. HURLBUTT STREET, CONN.)


BRIDGEPORT, CONN. : THE STANDARD ASSOCIATION, PRINTERS. 1895.


HE Cemetery from which this copy was taken is situated at East Norwalk in the old village where the first settlement was made, Home lots laid out, and a few rods South-east of the site of the first Church, which was on the North corner of East Avenue and Fort Point Road. The Cemetery i's triangular in shape, bounded on all sides by highways and enclosed by a picket fence. There are many graves seen which are unmarked by Headstones, and very many more of the early ances- tors remains were deposited in this burial place, of which no mark or tra- dition is left. Here rests one of our Colonial Governors, (Gov. Thomas Fitch) No. 230. Probably the first minister Rev. Thomas Hanford is buried here, (tradition says near the headstone of his son Thomas,) where is seen a "flat Brown stone" the inscription is wholly obliterated. The 2d minister Rev. Stephen Buckingham, (No. 209) and 3d minister Rev. Moses Dickenson (No. 234) a tutor of Yale college. Buckingham St. John (No. 20), a son of the 1st Pastor, Rev. Jedeiah Buckingham. Two deacons; one of 1st church.


Five militia Capt , one militia Col., a Rev. Soldier, a Col., two Capt., and seven soldiers in late war who have inscribed stones, a Master of Arts, M. D., an eminent Dentist, and many whose title has never been chis- eled on the stone marking their grave.


The yard contains but one vault ; (The Raymond.) In summer the flowers placed in this cemetery by descendents of deceased friends show that the memory of the dead here are not forgotton. It is well cared for. May this interest continue, and the forefathers be allowed to rest and remain where they are. The object of the undertaking is to pre- serve definite memory of these early ancestors of Norwalk.


"He is a public benefactor who gathers together from the crumbling monuments and preserves in printed form the memorials erected by their cotemporaries over the early fathers of the country.".


[N. L. Collamer, Wash. D. C.]


The reader may say where are our Earliest Ancestors? To this the answer must be within the above enclosure. It is true over fifty years had passed after the settlement of the town before the first inscribed headstone appears, yet we have no record yet found, no tradition still kept or kuown of, or evidence of the existance of any other. This was for the first church in the heart of the ancient settlement. Imported stones were costly, and in a few Graveyards, stones from the field were se- lected, with the initials and year of death roughly chiseled upon them. A number appear in Stratfield Cemetery (now Bridgeport, Conn.,) before 1700, the earliest 1688 and one in Fairfield 1687. No well inscribed stone appear in either of these before 1700. From the above facts we are led to believe this is the first cemetery in Norwalk.


Each Stone is given a number commencing on the South side, and is copied in six sections between parallel lines from East to West so the small numbers are stones on the south part of the yard and so north- ward.

His residence was where now lives Wm. H. Earle, East av. nearly opposite the Governor Fitch place. He was a rich man and large laud holder, and after his death there was erected to his memory a brownstone Tomb Ta- ble similar to the Governor Fitch. Beyond the memory of those liv- ing the entire inscribed slate which was placed in the top of this table, was missing, and vari- ons traditions and rumors have been handed down of the cause of its removal, whereabouts and dis- appearance. The author has thor- oughly traced these to establish for whose memory this table was erected. At last he has in his hands a part of the original slate which was found while excavating a blind drain on the Wm. H. Earle's place. 1893. The St. John coat of arms is a shield, and the upper third has two stars and the motto is "Data Fata Secutus." The coat of arms engraved on the broken slate (which exactly fits in the socket for it in the tomb ta- ble) bears a part of this motto ("Data Fata --- ") the "Secu- tas" being broken off. A large portion of the shield is seen. What remains to be seen of the inscription is as follows :]
