CommentWriting of the Common Burial Ground, the Hon. Robert Franklin says: "Among the oldest stones in this cemetery are those placed over the tombs of John Garde and his wife. They were originally buried on their estate on the west side of Thames street, near what is now known as Champlin's wharf, but some time before the year 1800 they were removed to the common burial ground" ("Newport Cemeteries," Special Bulletin of the Newport Historical Society, #10, Newport, 1913, p.7). It's not clear whether any other people were buried there, and if so, whether their graves were moved or ever transcribed. The stones still exist at the Common Burial Ground, although Mrs. Garde's appears to have been repaired or recast.
