APPENDIX VIII.
BURYING GROUNDS.
1692. Old Burying Ground. The oldest place of burial in town, is that called the " Old Burying Ground," being in part, land given by John IIub- bard and Samuel Smith in 1692, for that, and the purposes of a Meeting House Green.
1733. Eastbury Old Burying Ground, in the woods. Some time subse- quent to the building of the Meeting House, the town gave Eastbury two acres of common land which was laid out for a Burying Ground, near where the Meeting House was originally built. Before this the people of Eastbury buried in the old society, where lie the remains of the two first ministers of that parish. When the Meeting House was removed in 1820, this burying place was partially abandoned for the one near the new Meeting House.
1776. South Burying Ground. This year the town bought a piece of land of Jehiel Goodrich, on the top of the hill below Roaring Brook, for a Burying Ground, paying forty shillings an acre. The first digger of graves in this yard, was the man of whom the land was purchased. The second was his son Edward, who still continues to discharge that duty. The first person buried in the yard was a Matson, and is so entered on the tomb-stonc. Fourteen who have committed suicide, lie buried here.
1810. Wassuc Burying Ground. This Burying Ground was established about the time of building the Church, which was in 1810.
1823. Center Burying Ground. This yard was established as a Society Burying Ground in 1823, half of an acre of land having been purchased for that purpose. The first person buried in the yard was Ellen IInbbard, Sep- tember 15th, 1824, and is so entered on the grave-stone.
Special rules and regulations in regard to this ground, were adopted in 1844, and confirmed by the Legislature in 1845.
1820. Eastbury New Burying Ground, near the Meeting House. This ground seems to have been established about the time mentioned, and has since been the principal place of burial in that society.
211
Burying Ground, near the residence of Leonard E. Hale, Esq. This ground is a small yard, established some years since, for the conve- nience of a few families in that vicinity.
1845. Nipsic Burying Ground. Another small yard in the east part of this town, was opened about eight years ago, and is near the school house in that district. It is small, and intended to accommodate but a few families.

His partialities for the British cause in the Revolution, led to his subsequent removal to England, where he spent the remainder of his days.

SMITH, REV. ZEPHANIAH HOLLISTER, EsQ., son of Isaac Smith, b. Aug. 19, 1758, was graduated at Yale, 1782. He pursued Theology, and was settled over the Congregational Church at Newtown. Having changed his views of Christian doctrine, he withdrew from the Parish and returned to Glastenbury. Here he went into trade for a short time, but soon studied Law, and practiced it in this Town until his death, which took place Feb. 1, 1836, aged 77.
STOCKING, REV. SABURA S. These persons were all sons of
STOCKING, REV. SELAH. Rev. Jeremiah Stocking, and all were
STOCKING, REV. SERVILIUS. STOCKING, REV. SOLON.
clergymen. A general notice of all is given in the account of the father, STOCKING, REV. SOPHRONIUS H. ] in the history of the Methodist Church in East Glastenbury.

TREAT, REV. RICHARD, son of Thomas Treat, of Nayaug, b. May, 1694, was graduated at Yale, 1725. He also studied Theology, but little of his subsequent history is known.
TRYON, DOCT. JOSEPH, is not at first called by this title in our records. Whether he subsequently pursued study with Doct. Bulkley, as he might have done, we are not informed. There are presumptions that he did so, of which the general application of the title to hiim afterwards, in matters of public record, is a very strong one.
