  41. 1790 Derby Census.
  42. Emma Lounsbury, Oxford - A Historical Sketch (Seymour Record, 1914).
    The old road which passes between that and the graveyard, which was once the main road to Quakers Farm, was called the Church road, as the Episcopal church stood at the right adjoining what is now the cemetery.
    The land for the cemetery was deeded from Joseph Davis to the wardens of the parish of Oxford church.
    Here is a portion of the deed. There were no printed blanks to fill out at that time; each one had to write out their own deed.
    Know all men by these presents that I, Joseph Davis, of Derby, in the Parish of Oxford, county of New Haven and Colony of Connecticut, in New England, do for a valuable consideration of current money of the colony aforesaid, paid by Abel Gunn and Benjamin Bunnell, church wardens of the Parish of Oxford and colony aforesaid, received to my full satisfaction and contentment, do give, grant, bargain, sell and confirm unto them, the said Abel Gunn and Benjamin Bunnell and to others of the professors of the Church of England in said Oxford (forever), one certain tract or parcel of land, lying in said Oxford, known by the name of the meeting house lot, lying near Oxford meeting house which is now in being, in the year 1766, being by estimation five acres, be it more or less; butted and bounded as follows.
    (I omitted the boundaries as they were rather lengthy).
    To have and to hold the above granted and bargained, with all the privileges, profits and appurtenances (forever) to the said Abel Gunn and Benjamin Bunnell, and to all the rest of the professors of the Church of England in said Oxford and that I, Joseph Davis, have set my hand and seal this 22nd day of December in the year Anno Domini 1766.

    Witnesses
    (taken from Derby Land records Vol 8. page 355)
    I do not find any statement in the deed of its being given for a cemetery but as the cemetery used to be adjoining the church that was of course understood. Now we know there cannot be any five acres fenced in there at present.
