The Center Church Burying Ground was the original cemetery used during the settlement of Hartford in the 1600s. Throughout the years over six thousand people were buried there. The list of burials, which constitutes this database, was originally compiled by Miss Mary K. Talcott from records at the Connecticut Historical Society. Her compilation was published in Connecticut Magazine (later known as Connecticut Quarterly) in several issues between 1898 and 1899. The Connecticut Historical Society and the Connecticut State Library have some issues of this magazine, which may or may not include the issues in which this list was published. The records from which this list was compiled are assumed to still be in existence at the Connecticut Historical Society.
