PREFACE.
It is always an ungrateful task, to criticise the work of one's predecessors in any branch of inquiry. When, how- ever, that work is one which does not call for any mental labor, when it admits neither of reasoning, fancy or inven- tion, when, as in the present case, it calls simply for accu- racy, criticism becomes justifiable and unavoidable.
In 1852, the late Thomas Bridgman published a book entitled " Memorials of the Dead in Boston ; containing an exact transcript from Inscriptions, Epitaphs and Re- cords on the Monuments and Tombstones in Copp's-Hill Burying Ground," etc., etc.
The justification for the present volume lies in the fact that Mr. Bridgman's transcript was not exact, and was very far from exhaustive. The errors in transcribing, though very numerous, were mostly trivial; but the omissions were inexcusably numerous. Out of the 2000 inscriptions here copied, about 800 are not to be found in Mr. Bridgman's book.
It may therefore be claimed for this volume, that as sup- plementing his work, it has added nearly as many facts to the knowledge of the antiquary as the original afforded him. It is not a re-casting of old material, but a large contribution of material not before accessible.
iv.
PREFACE.
As to the accuracy of the present transcript, it should be stated that the editor employed the late Thomas B. Wyman, Jr., to prepare it from the original stones, care- fully comparing all of Mr. Bridgman's text, and noting all errors and omissions. The work was done deliberately, and no one who has had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Wyman, will doubt that it was done with conscientious care.
The printed text has been carefully compared with Mr. Wyman's copy, the original of which, containing a full annotation in regard to the position of each stone, is de- posited in the office of the City Registrar of Boston.
In order that the truth of history may be preserved, the reader is warned that Mr. Bridgman admitted some in- scriptions into his book which never existed in the Copp's Hill yard. Especially was this the case in regard to coats- of-arms. Thus, on page 2 of his book, he gives the Lake arms, which are not on the stone. On page 162 he gives the Thornton arms and an inscription in form of an epitaph; but no such stone ever existed. On page 221 the Loring arms figured without any authority, though as this appears among the notes, the cautious reader might not be misled. On page 186, there is a list of persons de- posited in the Shute tomb, but whose names are not in- scribed on it. So also, all the names on pages 198, 199 and 200 are those of persons buried elsewhere.
The true record of all the coats-of-arms inscribed on stones in this yard will be found in the Introduction,
v.
PREFACE.
The most economical form of printing has been adopted for this volume, from necessity. The object sought has been to give a faithful transcript of the reading of each inscription, with such an approximation to the spelling and lettering as ordinary type would yield. No attempt has been made to add punctuation, except in the few cases where the sense might be obscured by a too literal tran- scription.
Lastly, the editor has ventured to place his name upon the title page, as the inciter of the enterprise, cheerfully acknowledging, as he already has, the merits of the tran- scriber. But he cannot leave unrecorded his sense of the public spirit which has impelled the publisher to undertake the enterprise.
The patronage afforded to such works is too scanty to make them attractive to publishers, and the citizens of Boston may well return thanks to one who has thus put a portion of their records beyond the reach of ordinary dangers.
Equally faithful copies of the inscriptions in the other grave-yards in old Boston, were made by Mr. Wyman for the editor. Should the present volume meet with moderate success, an attempt will be made hereafter to print those transcripts also.

INTRODUCTION.
The grave-yards in Boston proper, have been the King's Chapel yard, the Copp's Hill yard, the Granary, the Quaker's yard in Con- gress street, the yard on the Common, the one on Boston Neck, and five collections of tombs under as many of our churches.
Of these the King's Chapel yard was the first in use, and in 1642 an order was passed by the town for the constables to fence it.
The second in date, was the Copp's Hill yard, concerning which the following order was passed by the town, Nov. 5th, 1660: " It is ordered that the old burying place shall be wholly deserted for some convenient season, and the new place appointed for burying only made use of."
The town had already bought a piece of land as appears by the following deed, dated 20th Feb., 1659-60, and recorded in Suff. Deeds, lib. 53, fol. 153. 'John Baker and Daniel Turell, sell to the selectmen of Boston, a lot of land, 294 feet on the northerly side, 252 feet on the southerly side; in breadth on the easterly end 120 feet. Butting on the way that leadeth from the new meeting house in Boston towards Charleston ferry, on the north ; on the lands of William Phillips southerly ; on the land of John Baker and Daniel Turell easterly ; and on the way that leadeth from Senter-haven towards Charleston ferry westerly.'
The first yard then was a parallelogram with its longer sides fac- ing north-east and south-west, so that the left hand upper corner, at the junction of Charter and Snow-hill streets, pointed almost due north.
After some forty years, an enlargement was desirable, and the corresponding lot on the south-west was purchased by the town of Judge Samuel Sewall and his wife.' (Suff. Deeds, lib. 26, fol. 97.)
1 Already, January 7, 1708, Sewall and his wife Hannah had sold to Joshua Gee, the following named lot (Suff. Deeds, lib. 25, fol. 174). One rod square in their pasture " adjoining the north burying place, in which parcel of ground Mrs. Mary Thacher now lyeth buried," bounded north by the said burying place and on all other sides by Sewall's land, with no way to said land except what he has through the burying place.
vii.
INTRODUCTION.
Deed dated 17 Dec., 1707 ; in consideration of £50 paid and the re- lease from the payment of an annual quit-rent of 40 shillings for a certain cedar swamp in Brookline, Samuel Sewall and wife Han- nah, sold the town of Boston land for enlarging the north burying place. It adjoined said place northerly, measuring 250 feet ; southerly it bounded on Hull street, measuring across in a straight line to the burying place, 140 feet. On Hull street it measured 180 feet ; westerly on Snow hill 170 feet.
The yard thus increased was nearly a square, bounded on three sides by streets.
In 1809 another enlargement was made, by the purchase of the adjoining lot, on Hull street, east of the Sewall portion of the old yard. The deed was dated 18 Dec., 1809, and was recorded in lib. 231, fol. 199. It states as follows. For $10,000, Benjamin Weld and wife Nabby sold the town of Boston a parcel of land, bounded south-west on Hull street 148 feet, north-west on the burial ground 138 feet 6 inches ; north-east on land of Goodwin and other 153 feet south.east on land of Jonathan Merry 123 feet : being land conveyed to Weld by Merry, 21 Oct., 1809, recorded lib. 230, fol. 191.
This lot is nearly square and is rather less than one-half the size of the old yard. Like the first, it is surrounded with a row of tombs.
(Suff. Deeds, lib. 262. fol. 296,) 3 June 1819, John Bishop of Medford, sold to Charles Wells, for $1.051.30, land in Charter street bounded north-east on said street 20 feet north-westerly, 70 feet on the burying ground 20 feet wide, then continuing 50 feet more, 28 feet wide ; southwest 28 feet on land formerly of Dr. Wm. Clark, but now a burying ground ; then south-east 50 feet, 28 feet wide, then continuing 70 feet more 20 feet wide, on land formerly owned by Wm. Fowle. It was the land which Stephen Gorham as admin- istrator of Nathaniel Holmes, sold to said Bishop, 14 Dec., 1791, recorded lib. 184, fol. 59.
This lot of land, now bounded on the north-east by Marshall place, seems to be entirely covered by tombs, thirty-four in number, erected by Mr. Charles Wells with the consent of the town.
The following extracts from the town records throw some light upon the history of particular tombs. These tombs in the old yard are numbered consecutively as follows. Beginning on Hull street, at the south-east corner, next to the new yard, and running westerly numbers 1 to 21 inclusive. On Snow hill street, numbers 22 (at the corner of Hull street), to No. 55 at the corner of Charter street.
viii.
INTRODUCTION.
Then returning to the south-east corner on Hull street, and running north-east along the line of the yard to Charter street, numbers 56 to 83 inclusive. Then westerly on Charter street, numbers 84 to 115 inclusive.
In the open yard are situated tombs numbered 116 to 125 in- clusive.
The list of tombs and the owners thereof, now preserved in the office of the Board of Health, is quite modern and very unsatisfac- tory as regards the earlier ownership. We can discover, however, that in 1717 the first row of tombs was in process of erection.
These grants, as nearly as can be ascertained from the modern list, were as follows, and bear date in 1717-1718 :
1
2 John Charnock.
3 Joshua Gee.
4 John Frizell.
5 James Pecker and Benjamin Edwards.
6 Thomas Lee.
7 ? James Grant.
8 John Baker.
9 John Ruck.
10 Edward Martyn.
11 ? James Pitts.
12 John Clark.
13 William Clark.
14 Robert Orange.
15 ? Mrs. Mary Hough, ? Samuel 'Burnell.
16 Edward Proctor.
17 John Mountfort.
18 John Langdon.
A careful search on the town records, fails to give any more in- formation in regard to the grants of tombs from 19 to 32. The official list contains only the names of modern families.
In 1722 it seems that a new range of tombs was commenced at the south-east corner on Hull street, running north. Here we identify
56 John Greenough.
57 Samuel Greenwood.
58 Thomas Hutchinson.
59 Jonathan Mountfort.
60 Walter Goodrich.
ix.
INTRODUCTION.
61 Edward Pell.
62 John Roberts.
63 John Cookson.
In 1743, grants are recorded, on the Snow hill street side, to 33 Cap't Parker.
34 John Larrabee.
35 Samuel Hunt.
36 ? Richard Hunnewell.
37 ? Daniel Bell.
38 ? do.
In 1801, Thomas Godfrey and others were allowed to build No. 39, hence we may conclude that the range for a long time, ended with 38.
Undoubtedly our examination of the county records would reveal many facts in regard to the transfer of tombs, and thus throw light on their history. But this is hardly the occasion for such an in- vestigation, and it may well be postponed until such time as the Board of Health of the city of Boston shall decide to exercise its new power as custodian of the several graveyards.
We proceed therefore to give all the passages in the Selectmen's Records which relate to this yard.
