Excerpt from Historical Sketch and Matters Appertaining to the King's Chapel Burying Ground This was known as the burying-place from the first settle ment of Boston, 1630, and after the year 1660, the North bury ing-ground (copps Hill), and the South burying-ground (granary), were established, and the burying-place was then known as the old burying-place. This ground is more interesting to the historical student than any of the other grounds of old Boston. Here were buried nearly all of the first settlers of Boston, and many prominent men of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay.
