Ye Antient Buriall Place of New London, Conn.

An 1899 record of gravestone inscriptions in New London's historic burial ground, preserving names and commemorations from Connecticut's past.

Compiled by Edward Prentis and printed locally in New London, Ye Antient Buriall Place gathers memorial inscriptions as a resource for local history and family research. Its transcription of burial markers helps document a historical landscape vulnerable to weathering, loss, and later alterations. The volume is an example of late nineteenth-century interest in preserving the physical and genealogical record of early New England communities.
