About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

PO37

Owner: Portsmouth Abbey

This cemetery is located on the Priory Grounds, 1/4 mile north of Priory office building. CETA gives 1975 location as "near old pond beyond Portsmouth Abbey's playfield." 1970 resurvey notes that permission had been refused for a historic cemetery sign. No transcription known at this time. The Gideon Freeborn estate was excavated by James Garman in 1993; he may have information relating to the cemetery. See Nancy Rodriguez's article "Digging for Clues to Slavery" in "The East Bay Window" Section B, 15-16 July 1993. Not mentioned by IK in 1989.
