Thank you for allowing a semi-homebound person like myself to 'travel' through the internet to 'see the Bradford Burial Grounds' via your video. Several years ago I spoke to a sexton of another cemetery in Haverhill as I was/still am trying to find the burial place for Hannah Dore Hamilton 1793 (Athens, ME) - Oct. 3o, 1881 in Haverhill, MA. He suggested I check out the Bradford Burial Ground. Hannah 'is not here' either unless Hannah did not or does not now have a grave stone. It was precious to 'see' in person this Burial Grounds via your video. Thank you for taking time to do this project and post it to the web.

My Great Grandfather, on My Mother"s side Haseltine donated the land for this cemetery in the 1600s I was named after My Great uncle Steve Hazeltine. More than just strange, that more than ten generations later I would live only a quarter mile from this burial ground. I regret that I know very little about the details, John Hardy knows more about the Hazeltine's than I do. shame :( John we will talk this winter about when to acquire the flag 8' "Betsy Ross" style.

This is interesting. I have visited this place. My mother was a Haselton. We know that her family is descended from these Haseltines. There are a number of spellings. My grandmother's husband, George Irving Haselton was president of the NH Senate for many years and at one time, ran for governor. His portrait hangs in the NH state house.

Many thanks for all the efforts involved in preserving the history of our fore fathers. We are honored to be a small part of these efforts and appreciate all that you have done to make this possible.

What an absolute blessing your site has been to me. After contacting John and receiving his gracious permission, I was able to add pictures to posts of folks that are listed at www.findagrave.com. I also created memorials for those who didn't have them, using your information. I believe it's a great partnership that will benefit a lot of folks. Now I'd like to see if there's a way to post your map on the title page for the Bradford Burial Ground or a direct link between the two. Great resources, both! Thank you to all the folks who worked to provide the information and pictures here at your site. I know it has been a labor or love and respect for those who have gone on before.

 I can’t express what a blessing this site is. I have a lot of ancestors there and for our family to be able to see the tombstones and what is written on them is a true gift. I know a huge amount of time and effort has gone into putting this together. It is greatly appreciated.

Wonderful website. Great to see Ancient Burial Grounds cleaned up and hear about all the work that is being done to keep it clean and in locating buried gravestones and unidentified graves. Without this we would have lost a very important historical site.

Hopefully, some day, the burial plot of my earliest known ancestor, Deacon Richard Hall of Bradford, will be found in the Ancient Bradford Burial Ground. As the first deacon of the church at Bradford, he would have been granted a free plot, as was his son, Joseph. Richard was also one of the original signers of the Church's first covenant. Richard died in Bradford in 1730, yet, to date, no burial location has been found for him. Perhaps his name can be included in this website's history, even though his bones may have been lost to time?Best wishes,Jeff Hall(Richard-Richard-Timothy-Timothy-James-William-Albert-Will-Albert Hall)

I am a descendant of Thomas Hardy, Sr. of Bradford. My wife and I visited the 1665 Burying Ground several years ago after receiving directions from the special collections department at the Haverhill Library. We are please to read about the update from John C. Hardy.

Thank you for the work you are doing in the Bradford Burial Ground! My newly discovered ancestor, Nathaniel Fales, is buried there. What you are doing is very important.

Very nice job on the site. Let me know if there is anything that you need from me in the future. It was nice to meet with you this afternoon (July 26, 2008) at the BBG.

What a nice site. Thanks for all the work that is being put into it. The other day I drove by the Bradford Burial Ground but did not have the time to stop. This site has given me the extra incentive to return with a camera.
