The Burial Ground is the final resting place of approximately 1,130 souls including veterans from the Revolutionary War through World War II. Early settlers slaves can also be found here with their owners, but do not have stones to mark them. Some graves of note include that of ‘Aunt' Betty Frazee, famous for her ‘bread loaf' standoff with General Cornwallis in 1777 and that of Baltus Roll, whose murder in 1831 was the talk and shock of the Nation. Charles Addams, who lived near the cemetery, used it as a source of inspiration for his macabre cartoon series, ‘The Addams Family'.
