Mon 8/23/2010 12:38 PM I have been researching family
history for 5 yrs now and decided to go thru each township now
for info on how these previous ancestors lived and what their
occupations were. The families of Goodwin, Graham, Kimball &
Webster are related. I appreciate this site it has a great deal
of info. Thank You for the time invested. It has taken me back 7
generations. Awesome!!!!! |

Like several others, I am a
descendant of Benjamin & Mercy Kimball, as well as the Days,
Tennys, and Hazeltines. I've visited the burial ground several
times, the first with my parents in the 1950's, and later in the
70's and 80's. I'm glad to see it cleaned up, and indexed.
Wonderful work. |

Somewhere probably now among those
unreadable markers, is buried Martha Smith Burbank Hardy. Her
gravestone image can be found at FindAGrave.com in this
cemetery. The image shows a badly broken and barely discernible
name. The name "Hardy" can be read. |

I
am descendant of Thomas West, my 8th great grandfather, who
resides in Edmonton, Alberta. I am so pleased to have found a
picture of his headstone that I can finally read. I had one
picture of it that my 1st cousin twice removed included in her
copy of our family history, a splendid 289 page tome covering
our arrival to the settling of wisconsin(1836) and beyond. Thank
you so much, and can you tell if Wests still live there? |

from the genealogy pages for everyone you have images of !!!!!!

Mon 10/26/2009 8:09 AM 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. |

Mon 10/19/2009 2:29 PM 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. |
| Barbara Buonaugurio from Peabody, Massachusetts
Mon 8/3/2009 3:24 AM 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. |

Sun 6/21/2009 2:31 PM 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. |

Fri 6/12/2009 7:28 PM 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. |

Thu 6/4/2009 8:31 AM 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. |

Wed 5/6/2009 9:28 AM 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. |
| Jeff Hall from Amherst, New Hampshire
Tue 5/5/2009 6:39 PM 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) |

Sat 7/26/2008 7:46 PM 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

Sat 7/12/2008 9:36 AM 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. |
