For several decades after 1700, the property was kept partly private; then, in 1734, the town declared the grounds \"open to the common\" as a public burial place. For 150 years the Old Burying Ground enjoyed an \"active career.\" This book transcribes 1,405 gravestone inscriptions from Norwich's oldest burying ground. Gravestones predating 1700 no longer exist; the bulk of these inscriptions are from the nineteenth century. Along with the \"standard\" information recorded on the stones (name, age and date of death), can be found everything from cause of death to relatives' names, to occupation or military service, to loving quotes and epitaphs. The text of each transcription is arranged on the page to visually mimic its appearance on the stone, adding an extra dimension to the reader's experience. Illustrations include photos of the Old Burying Ground's entrance gates, its memorial gates (on East Town Street), and headstones of more than a dozen people. An every-name index provides easy access to the more than 1,500 names found in these pages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge S.

Some patriots took to the sea in single ships, either privateers or frigates commissioned by Congress.

Benedict Arnold descended on New London in retaliation for the \u003cem\u003eHannah\u003c\/em\u003e's capture, destroying its shipyard, sacking its warehouses and burning the majority of its businesses and several homes. The fortification across the Thames at Groton was also attacked, and its defenders massacred despite attempts to surrender.

This book is intended to present the military records of those who went from the town of Norwich (over 1,300 in the Army and about 90 in the Navy). In addition, it gives an account of what was done at home in Norwich by the citizens and the town in its corporate capacity during the same period. The book has about two dozen chapters, and proceeds through the main milestones of the Civil War, but from a Norwich perspective, giving details of formations of companies and regiments, and raising of funds to buy uniforms to outfit them, as well as contributions during the war of food and other supplies. There is a muster roll of soldiers in three months' service; first, second and third companies; and an account of the call for three years' men. The book discusses units of the fourth (later first artillery), fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, eighteenth, twenty-first, twenty-sixth and thirtieth regiments, as well as the first Connecticut Cavalry and the various Naval flotillas and the four blockading squadrons.
