History

The cemetery dates as far back as the church itself to 1715.

Originally, burials took place underneath the floor of the church building (the original church building). That practice was discontinued in 1720. Of all the persons buried under the floor, Judge William Moore was the only one that had been identified. In 1893, when the church added heating, all remains were excavated and moved to the church cemetery.

The "Ancient Yard", the oldest section of the cemetery, lies closes to the church building. It is part of the original five acres given by a farmer to build the church and bury the dead.

Today, the cemetery is available only to members of St. David's Episcopal Church.
