    Eight stones are in this small burial ground, many in pairs. Perhaps four burials?

  • Notes 
    • Peter Grant was captured by Oliver Cromwell at the Battle of Dunbar in Scotland on 3 Sep 1650 and force marched to Durham Cathedral, aka "The Durham Death March". Of the estimated 10,000 prisoners who were captured at Dunbar, only 1,500 are believed to have survived. Of those survivors, roughly 150 were sent to Lynn, Massachusetts aboard the ship “Unity”. Peter eventually gained his freedom following his indenture at the Saugus Iron Works in Saugus, Massachusetts. He was a charter member of the Scots Charitable Society in Boston.
