Former slaves buried here?
I came across some record of former slaves buried at this cemetery, but when I searched again on wiki, I can't find it anywhere. It would be great detail to add, along with the way this cemetery was segregated, as was the custom of the time.C. W. Gilmore (talk) 11:12, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

While were slaves in the region, the start of cemetery was rather late (1844), so it's not clear. Can't find anything, either.

 * Yes, it was on the tail end of NJ slavery, that's why I said 'former slaves'; but as it holds the bodies of Revolutionary War veterans, it surely has former slaves interned there? C. W. Gilmore (talk) 15:35, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
