According to John Dearborn-The History of Salisbury:

The land was given by John Calef, son of William, and grandson of the first William.

Like other yards, it was fenced by families who buried in it.

The first person buried there was John Taylor, who died May 1,1826.

Note: *He is not listed In cemetery records.

The list is a compilation of data from the study of tombstones by Priscilla Hammond in 1933.
