Copied in 1800 by Rev. Stephen Royce from an old diary of Matthew Sherman and from old church records, this list covers the period from the first burial in 1639 to the year 1799. This list is of particular importance because it expands considerably the list published by Rev. Samuel Orcutt in his “History of Stratford and Bridgeport” (1886) and his History of Bridgeport (1887).  Click here to view the list.
