There are
52 known cemeteries in
present day Rehoboth. Persons researching their ancestors from
Rehoboth need to remember that Rehoboth encompassed the
present day communities of Attleboro, Cumberland, East
Providence, Pawtucket, Rehoboth, and Seekonk, as well as parts
of Barrington and Swansea. Parts of Warren and Bristol may
have also been included. This site will eventually include the
cemeteries databases of all of those cities and towns. However
we are presently limiting our cemeteries to those within the
present day boundaries and those are not all complete. We suggest that if you do not
find what you are looking for on this site, that you include
the RI
Cemeteries Database and the Swansea
Cemetery Listing in your search as these include many
of the colonists from Old Rehoboth.

Please
Note
We
encourage the research of our heritage but if you decide to
visit any of the cemeteries, please obtain permission
from the Rehoboth Cemetery Commission via the town
hall and use care. The
grave stones and turf are
fragile. Massachusetts law restricts restoration of any kind
except to a few authorized individuals. |
Most
of the cemeteries were identified in the Beers Survey of 1878
and by Trim, the
renowned Rehoboth historian and genealogist. Depending on the
reference, the cemeteries are known by different titles. We refer to
all cemeteries in present day
Rehoboth by the Rehoboth Historical Cemetery Numbers (RHC#) maintained by
the Town of Rehoboth, Ma. For ease in identifying the correct
cemetery, a cross reference between these numbers, the Bristol
County Cemeteries Database numbers and the common names is listed
in the matrix to
the right.
The
Blanding Library on Bay State Road in Rehoboth houses the
major part of local genealogical information in its "Trim
Room"
