Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery

Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery is an old cemetery in Burlington, Connecticut which dates back to the late 18th century. It was used as a burial ground for members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church. The cemetery has mistakenly been referred to as "Burlington Center Cemetery" but is perhaps best known as Green Lady Cemetery, due to a ghost that supposedly haunts the grounds.
==History==
The Seventh Day Baptists (or Sabbatarians) were a religious group that was originally from Rhode Island. Many of them were descendents of the Roger Williams colony. In the late 18th century, twenty or so families migrated from Rhode Island to West Britain, Connecticut (present-day Burlington) and established the Seventh Day Baptist Church on September 18, 1780. At the meeting of the Seventh Day Baptist Society on October 12, 1796, a deed was presented by Jared Covey (the benefactor of the church) to the other members detailing a "parcel of land laying at the south east corner of the ninth lot in the fourth division in Bristol containing about half an acre for the purpose of a public burying ground". The site had already been used as a burial ground, beginning in 1780 with the burial of John Davis, but it was in 1796 when it was officially declared as Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery.
During the years between 1810 and 1820, accidental deaths plagued the Seventh Day Baptists. One member fell off a ladder and died while repairing his house, while another died when a recently dug well collapsed on him. Another was hanged while repairing a lamp in her home and yet another was killed when a tree fell upon him in the woods. While these bizarre deaths may have been legitimate accidents, it is not difficult to make the leap in logic that the early Burlington residents may have had a secret agenda toward forcing the Sabbatarians from the area, eventually confiscating their lands and properties. By 1820, the last of the Seventh Day Baptists departed Burlington and migrated to Brookfield, New York in Madison County, never to return. The last person to be buried in the cemetery was Charlotte Spencer, on October 14, 1881.
