       Apparently there has been a lot of confusion about the names of the cemeteries in North Coventry (just note the names given on the current map of Coventry). I believe the names are listed properly in the chart above thanks to a 1986 cemetery survey by Project First, Association for Gravestone Studies. It is on file at the Booth and Dimock Library in Coventry, CT.
       Most of the footstones were missing at South Street Cemetery (aka Holy Grove) and some were noted missing in other North Coventry cemeteries a long time ago. Where did they go? We, myself and others, found them in a most unexpected place. Read about this mystery solved!
