History of Hardwick, Massachusetts: With a Genealogical Register by Lucius Robinson Paige, Pg 166
The oldest public burial-place in Hardwick is in the centre of the town, on the east side of the Common. It is not a part of the "ten acres" devoted by the proprietors, February 21, 1732-3, to public use; but it was probably substituted for the original grant, about 1741, when the second meeting-house was erected. How early this burial place was used does not appear . . . Deacon John White, the father of Rev. David White, was born at an earlier date (1663) than any other person known to have been buried in that ground; he died November 13, 1750, in the eighty-eight year of his age . . . both of these patriarchs were born in Hatfield.
