The historic North Burial Ground of Providence Rhode Island has graves of several of the Gaspee Raiders.

Click to enlarge thumbnail for viewing. The 22 acres of the older sections of this magnificent cemetery contain the graves of thousands of Rhode Islanders, famous and humble, who died from 1700 to 1848.  the graveyard is of great interest to students of this early part of Rhode Island's colonial history,

The Old North Burial Ground (ONBG) is difficult to find anything in, and the indexes the overworked staff have to work with are not good. The fact is that from 1700 to 1848 the only official record of where in this huge (and largely now unkempt and overgrown cemetery) persons were buried is the testimony of the gravestones themselves. Important: to find the grave of someone, start by reading the tips we have on finding a grave in the ONBG.  Those tips, titled as "Research at the Old North Burial Ground on Providence, RI", By Leonard Bucklin, Esq. & Corinne H. Smith,  are placed on the Gaspee Archives website as part of our project to identify all the Gaspee Raider.

A list of these graves in that 22 acres shows many families associated with the Gaspee affair. The following family names appear on at least 10 gravestones, bold type indicating 20 or more individuals. (Note Bucklin is one of those with more than 20 individuals.) Yellow highlighted names are family names of possible Gaspee Raiders or conspirators.  These are family names on which the Joseph Bucklin Society is concentrating research activity, as funds permit.
