South Burying Ground

This cemetery was established on a half-acre given to the town by Roger Toothaker’s stepfather Ralph Hill, who was likely the first burial here, after his death on April 19, 1663. Also buried in this cemetery is Captain Jonathan Danforth, noted surveyor who refused to testify against Martha Carrier.
