Westport Historic Private Cemeteries

Welcome

We have provided maps for LINDEN GROVE AND MAPLE GROVE. We will be providing maps for BEECH GROVE in the near future. Please note the Terms of Use at the bottom left of each page. DATA IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. NO DATA FROM THIS WEBSITE SHOULD BE DOWNLOADED TO OTHER CEMETERY WEBSITES WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THIS WEBSITE.

The blue boxes above provide access to data.

• "Cemeteries" - provides information about the cemeteries themselves, such as the name, registration number, location and access information. It also includes the number of gravestones, most recent and earliest dates of death, a photograph, GPS readings, Google map, burial ground sketch map, and complete list of known interred, plus much more. Maps of the cemetery are included for the two public cemeteries: Linden Grove and Maple Grove. Photos of the interred in Beech Grove are in the process of being entered into the website. Please check back periodically.
• "Interred" - focuses on information about individuals. For private cemeteries, it includes, when known, the name, birth and death dates, age, gender, veteran status, name of cemetery, relatives, and detailed information about the stones, inscriptions and genealogical information. For public cemeteries, a photo of each stone, where available, is included and information on the stone is therefore omitted. A map is also included indicating location of plots. When a plot has been purchased, but there are no interred, "Empty" appears in the spot for the name. There are a substantial number of persons listed in written historic records for plots for whom there is no stone. We are in the process of researching to determine if that person is actually buried in that lot. Please use that data with caution and check back periodically.
• "Background" - explains the project and the people who made it happen.
• "Information" - provides the G.R. number from the Westport Vital Records to 1850, warnings about entry into and upkeep of the various cemeteries and other miscellaneous information. If you wish to add more information, please contact us.

This website is administered by the Cemetery Identification Group (CIG) under the auspices of the Westport Historical Commission and the Westport Cemetery Department and is linked to these departments on the Town of Westport website. Funds have been received from the Community Preservation Act, Ms. Beverly M. Temple, Westport Cultural Council and the Lions Club. Many volunteers participated.

The website will be updated as new information becomes available.
