North Cemetery

Hartford

Sade Davis and Barbara Johnson

Located in the center of this cemetery are graves of a number of African Americans who served in the Civil War. These can be found by taking the entrance next to the building on Main Street and following the paved drive to a path. Between this path and another located a short distance to its right are stones marking the burials of six or more men who served in Connecticut's all-black Twenty-Ninth Regiment. There are also graves here of African Americans who served in other Civil War units. Nearby is the stone of James Law with the inscription "Born a slave in Virginia, Died in Hartford 1881, the Freedom of the Lord".
