The names and dates of the 334 men, women and children buried here from 1767-1870 include twenty-two Revolutionary War Patriots and \"prison ship\" victims. African-American and Portuguese sailors' graves are segregated. Brief biographies of Colonial settlers, whaling captains, children who died young, and other catalysts of the village's growth bring the past to life. A short biographical sketch of stonecutter, Ithuel Hill, Long Island's first documented stonecutter, precedes a discussion of gravestone types, carvings, and restoration techniques. Changes to the burying ground such as the opening of a new cemetery and the relocation of 111 graves conclude the history. One hundred and fifty epitaphs (including anecdotal and lyrical messages), a map with numbered grave sites, helpful hints on \"cleaning stones\" and reading inscriptions, numerous photographs and a fullname index are a few of the features that enhance this valuable tool for genealogists and history buffs alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53755401339213,"sku":"9780788423475","price":34.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/v0bLA92TI49780788423475.webp?v=1776718850","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/the-old-burying-ground-at-sag-harbor-long-island-new-york-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
