MASS CEMETERIES
HAVERHILL, MASS
I found these listings in THE ESSEX ANTIQUARIAN 1908, HAVERHILL INSCRIPTIONS. 
ANCIENT WEST PARISH CEMETERY. p.27

This burial place was laid out in 1740, the land having been bought of Thomas 
Haynes. It had previously been used as a burying ground. The following are 
all of the inscriptions to be found there bearing dates prior to 1800.
