Excerpt from Burial Inscriptions and Other Data of Burials in Berwick, York County, Maine, to the Year 1922 An attempt to preserve burial records is a seri ous and far from satisfactory undertaking. Such data are often wrong or incomplete. In some cases, where there are no markers, the cemetery or town records furnished the facts required. This was only possible, with accuracy, since 1892, when the law made imperative the registration of vital statistics, and when the situation of the grave was still known. Many burial grounds are entirely lost. Ancient burial inscriptions, for a period of many years in the town's history, provide the only inform ation of many early residents. The names of some of them will never be found hereafter except in these lists, as they were transcribed long ago and the tab lets themselves are defaced or entirely gone.

Evidence of the early history of African Americans in New England is found in the many old cemeteries and burial grounds in the region, often in hidden or largely forgotten locations. This unique work covers the burial sites of African Americans--both enslaved and free--in each of the New England states, and uncovers how they came to their final resting places. The lives of well known early African Americans are discussed, including Venture Smith and Elizabeth Freeman, as well as the lives of many ordinary individuals--military veterans, business men and women, common laborers and children. The author's examination of burial sites and grave markers reveals clues that help document the lives of black New Englanders from the 1640s to the early 1900s.
