Description of Ipswich, from http://www.rootsweb.com/~macipswi/index.html

Ipswich, first called Agawam as it began as a native Indian tribal village, was settled by colonists in 1633, incorporated in 1634.

"1633, March. John Winthrop, Jr. and twelve others commence a settlement here. 17April 1st. The Court of Assistants forbid any to reside in this place, without their leave, except those already come. Then follows a list of them; viz. Mr. John Winthrop, Jr., Mr. William Clerk, Robert Coles, Thomas Howlet, John Biggs, John Gage, Thomas Hardy, William Perkins, Mr. John Thorndike, and William Serjeant. Three are wanting to make up the first number. June 11th. Thomas Sellan has permission to become an inhabitant."
The History of Ipswich, Essex and Hamilton, by Joseph B. Felt, 1834.

On August 4, 1634 the village was incorporated and renamed Ipswich for the town in Suffolk County, East Anglia, the locale where most of its first settlers originated.

The present town composes thirty-three square miles encompassing seven hills supported by a topographical landscape of marshes, dunes, beaches, uplands, forests, fields and farmland. The fresh water Ipswich River originates forty-five miles to the west and runs through the towns heart where it becomes tidal and salt on its way to the Atlantic Ocean.  Its Crane Beach is reputed to be one of the most beautifully scenic beaches in all New England.

 

Description of cemetery:

 

This cemetery is roughly 100' deep by 300' wide. The stones are quite old and beautiful, but many have been severely eroded. The beautiful, rustic, mossy grounds tend to be soft and may be a problem for individuals who have difficulty walking on uneven ground. The cemetery is surrounded by light woods in the rear, with a small marsh at the foot of the hill, also surrounded by woods. The front of the cemetery is bordered by an attractive ivy-covered stone wall running along the country road.

 

The cemetery was first used in 1725; see John Parleys record. Regular burials here started on 1768. Only 24 were interred here in the 1900s, the last two burials in 1933 and 1959; see Edith Perleys record. All told, there are about 275 records.

 

There are several houses nearby, and a walking trail called the Elizabeth Howe Trail, in honor of a resident who lived very close to this old burying ground, and who was accused by her neighbors of being a witch. She was convicted and hung by the neck until dead. Her body is probably buried at a more remote cemetery in this area, called the Lesslie Road Burying Ground.

 

 

Location of cemetery:

 

Located 6 miles west of downtown Ipswich, in the Linebrook Parrish section of Ipswich. Take Linebrook Road for about 6 miles total, crossing Route 1 North, (at Cumberland Farms Store). Go 1 mile (pass the New Linebrook Cemetery which is on your right) and the cemetery is at the corner of Linebook and Newbury Road, where the road forks, and the small center 'island' is covered with Cedar trees. Parking is not easy on this narrow country road; you are best off pulling over as close as you can to the old stone wall of the cemetery .

 

From points South: Take Rt 1 North and go left onto Linebrook Road (at Cumberland Farms Store). Go 1 mile (pass the New Linebrook Cemetery which is on your right) and the cemetery is at the corner of Linebook and Newbury Road, where the road forks, and the small center 'island' is covered with Cedar trees.

 

From points North: Take Rt 1 South and go right onto Linebrook Road (at Cumberland Farms Store). Go 1 mile (pass the New Linebrook Cemetery which is on your left) and the cemetery is at the corner of Linebook and Newbury Road, where the road forks, and the small center 'island' is covered with Cedar trees.

 

Explanation of terms in burial records, below:

 

Entries are alphabetical. NEE refers to maiden names. The VETERAN entry is not yet working properly. (If I had evidence that the person was a veteran, you should see a check mark next to the word VETERAN.) The notation of MAP refers to coordinates on a hand-drawn map that I made of the location of the stones within the cemetery; it is a small cemetery and it is relatively easy to find the stones without a map. GRID refers to the conventional grid system that was used by many, including the WPA, to map the cemeteries. The lowest letters are to the left (south) as you face the cemetery from the street. The lowest numbers are closest to the street. Inscription 2003 field observations were detailed by reading and recording each stone, and WPA records from 1930 were taken from Works Progress Administration (WPA) typed 3x5 index cards, originally prepared in 1935. (In some cases these WPA entries have dropped a word or two, due to software errors.)

 

Sources and limitations of data:

 

Field observations were completed in 2003, including footstones. The 2003 field observations were made me, Bruce Laing, and I checked them against the WPA records from 1935, adding that information to fill in the blanks. These records include all readable stones from 2003 and all the WPA records from 1935. Occasionally stones are found and last names are unknown, in which case the other information on the stone is not included in this listing.

 

(As noted above, in some cases, a few words of the WPA inscriptions were dropped from these records when I translated the data from Microsoft Access into Microsoft RTF files in order to upload to the web.)

 

Other errors, inaccuracies, and omissions may exist. These records have not been checked against the Vital Records kept by the town, which are not sorted by cemetery in any event, but are another good source of data, along with other archives of family genealogies you can investigate by contacting people at these other links.
