THE ANCIENT LIPPIT, OR TAYLOR, BURYING GROUND
MIDDLETOWN, N. J.
This plot is situated on the farm of Mr. Charles Morford, on the North side of the high- way in the village of Middletown, about five rods back from the road, directly behind the residence of Mrs. Blanc. The ground was first appropriated for this purpose by John Throck- morton, the 2d, who, in his will written in 1690, makes reservation of it as one quarter of an aere in Middletown, where my father was buried.
This property passed to his daughter Sarah, who married Moses Lippit, and from their son, John Lippit, it was conveyed in the year 1754, to Edward Taylor, always, however, "re- serving and excepting a small piece of ground being enclosed in the burying yard, being in length about eighty-four feet and in breadth about thirty feet." From and after this date it became also known as the Taylor burying ground, which name it now bears to the exclusion of the other. In it are interred John Throckmorton, the Ist, and his sons John and Job; Sarah daughter of John Throckmorton, (2d), and her husband, Moses Lippit, as also several of her children, and Alice, daughter of John Throckmorton, (2d), and her husband, Thomas Stillwell, and their son John Stillwell and his wife, Merey Burrows. How many others may lie here it is impossible to state. The graves of many of these enumerated have been unmarked, and time has altogether effaced the mounds, and no trace exists of where they were interred. Some of the old stones have fallen and others are fast losing their epitaphs by reason of their age, but all are still decipherable.

THE HARTSHORNE BURYING GROUND
MIDDLETOWN, N. J.
The yard is conspicuously situated on the North side of the highway in Middletown vil- lage. There are few old stones in the plot, but doubtless there are some early settlers or their immediate descendants buried there, other than the Hartshornes; such privilege being ex- tended to them by circumstances readily imagined. When Richard Hartshore, the first, moved from Portland Point to the village of Middletown, he built the old house which still stands on the North side of the street, and which today is probably the oldest building extant in this county. Here he died in 1722, and in his will made mention of a "family burial plot of a half acre on the street, in the orchard cast of the house where I now live." Here he was buried, though the knowledge of the exact site is lost.
