In it rest the remains of some of the town and communities earliest and most prominent citizens, such as Col. Francis Fullam, Rev. William Williams (the towns first minister), Thomas Woolson (the first tavern keeper), Josiah Smith whose 1757 Tavern is the oldest building now standing in the center of Weston, owned by the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, the Rev. Samuel Woodward who accompanied Westons Minutemen toward Concord in 1775, Captain Baldwin who succeeded Woolson in the Tavern business and his glamorous wife, Rebecca Cotton Baldwin whose diary of early times is still revered, the Uphams, Allens, and Wittemores. Particularly fitting is it that side by side in Lots 17 and 18 rest the bodies of Samuel Philips Savage, undoubtedly leader of the Boston Tea Party and Col. Lamson who led the aforesaid Minutemen on April 19, 1775.
There are approximately 150 gravestones. The earliest death date in 1703, the most recent is 1871.
The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as WSN.800 Farmers' Burying Ground.
