NOTE: This memorial is created for the final resting place of Captain John Bassett/Bassat - his gravestone was moved to Grove Street Cemetery, but by the year 1821, he had been buried for almost 110 years - there is no evidence his remains were moved to Grove Street.

Reverse links are made from this memorial to his gravestone memorial, Capt John Bassat to avoid double links to children. (His daughter, Rebeckah Bassett Whitmore is my direct ancestor).

The Green was used as the main burial grounds for the residents of New Haven during its first 150 years, but by 1821 the practice was abolished and many of the headstones were moved to the Grove Street Cemetery. However, the remains of the dead were not moved, and thus still remain below the soil of the Green. It is estimated that between 5,000 and 10,000 people remain buried there, including Benedict Arnold's first wife, members of President Rutherford B. Hayes' family, Reverend James Pierpont (founder of Yale University), and Theophilus Eaton, one of the founders of New Haven and the church and governor of the New Haven Colony for 19 years.
