1Emma Lounsbury, Oxford - A Historical Sketch, (http://www.our-oxford.info/short-stories/lounsbury-sketch.html), Seymour Record, 1914. " The old road which passes between that and the graveyard, which was once the main road to Quakers Farm, was called the Church road, as the Episcopal church stood at the right adjoining what is now the cemetery.
The land for the cemetery was deeded from Joseph Davis to the wardens of the parish of Oxford church.
Here is a portion of the deed. There were no printed blanks to fill out at that time; each one had to write out their own deed.
Know all men by these presents that I, Joseph Davis, of Derby, in the Parish of Oxford, county of New Haven and Colony of Connecticut, in New England, do for a valuable consideration of current money of the colony aforesaid, paid by Abel Gunn and Benjamin Bunnell, church wardens of the Parish of Oxford and colony aforesaid, received to my full satisfaction and contentment, do give, grant, bargain, sell and confirm unto them, the said Abel Gunn and Benjamin Bunnell and to others of the professors of the Church of England in said Oxford (forever), one certain tract or parcel of land, lying in said Oxford, known by the name of the meeting house lot, lying near Oxford meeting house which is now in being, in the year 1766, being by estimation five acres, be it more or less; butted and bounded as follows.
(I omitted the boundaries as they were rather lengthy).
To have and to hold the above granted and bargained, with all the privileges, profits and appurtenances (forever) to the said Abel Gunn and Benjamin Bunnell, and to all the rest of the professors of the Church of England in said Oxford and that I, Joseph Davis, have set my hand and seal this 22nd day of December in the year Anno Domini 1766.

(taken from Derby Land records Vol 8. page 355)
I do not find any statement in the deed of its being given for a cemetery but as the cemetery used to be adjoining the church that was of course understood. Now we know there cannot be any five acres fenced in there at present." http://www.our-oxford.info/short-stories/lounsbury-sketch.html.

Who's there? she cried.
Don't be alarmed, said they; it's only we, David and Henry. Sorry to disturb you, but we want to stay here tonight, and there's five or six others outside who would like to lodge here with us.
Well, we can't accommodate them. All our beds but one are occupied. Who are they, I should like to know coming here at such an hour as this?
Oh, they are only some friends of ours, with whom we have been transacting some business; and we started to go to Uncle Henry's at Chusetown, but the storm has come on, and it's terrible hard traveling. You must let them come in, aunt, for it snows awfully, and we can't go any further tonight. We'll sleep round the fire on the floor, rather than stay out any longer, if you can't find beds for us all. Besides, we want some supper, and are sure you have something good that you can give us. We never knew Aunt Eunice's pantry to fail.
Moved by the entreaty and the compliment, the lady consented to get up and see to the wants of her unseasonable guests. In a few minutes she appeared in the kitchen, where the young men had already kindled a blazing fire. By her permission the rest of the party were allowed to enter and bestow themselves around the hearth.
They were, indeed, in need of rest and refreshment. They were weak and hungry, and cold. Calling to her daughter, in the front room, to help her, Mrs. Wooster soon set before them a coarse, but ample meal. A huge platter of cold boiled beef and pork, with vegetables, was placed upon the table, a loaf of rye bread, a plate of lusty doughnuts, and the never failing pitcher of cider. They needed no invitation to gather around and help themselves ..." http://www.our-oxford.info/military/Revolution/c_judd-book-text/chapter19.html.
