I was able to verify the claim that this is on the National Register of Historic Places. [1]; search for state MA, name "Burying" and it is the 7th one on the list: "MA Middlesex Salem Street Burying Ground Medford Sq. Medford 1981-08-27" Peyna 22:29, 15 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Documented Graves edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

What does the following passage mean:

The details of 35 graves have been documented. Starting from the Burying Ground's northwest corner and working eastward, the graves were selected for documentation in alternating groups of five (five were chosen and their data recorded, the next five were skipped, the following five chosen, and so on). The information collected included first and last names, ages, birth dates (when available), death dates and gravestone iconography. Also included were any pertinent titles (Deacon, Captain, Major, etc.).

Where is this information documented? Why weren't all graves documented? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onlynone (talk • contribs) 20:43, 15 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
