This cemetery was previously visited by an unknown individual Inclusive dates: 1800-1934. It is located on Park Avenue about a quarter mile from the intersection with Winnacunnet Road, on the left. View a map. According to Dow's "History of Hampton", page 285, the Ring Swamp Cemetery was laid out in 1797, the first interment being that of Joshua Towle, who died September 13th of that year. His stone is no longer in existence, and the earliest stone at present is dated 1800. This cemetery is laid out on both sides of a central "road", each side facing the road. The order of inclusion in this listing begins on the left side of the cemetery near the front and moves along the rows on that side. The right side of the yard is also recorded from left to right so it begins at the back of the cemetery and moves towards the front. In many cases the rows are not laid out in straight lines so it has been a judgment call to determine their order for this listing. Frequently family members have been laid out in adjoining rows. Where this is the case I have made a note to that effect, and I have numbered each gravestone to make this easier. This cemetery is in excellent condition in 1986, although many stones have been cemented to their bases recently, occasionally covering up the end of some inscriptions or verses. Thankfully the previous compiler made their record before this was done so they are not lost forever. In 2006, Winnacunnet High School senior Kevin Buckley of Boy Scout Troop 177 completed the documentation of the Ring Swamp Cemetery on Park Avenue in Hampton for his Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project. The headstone photographs that are linked below come from this project.
