North Main Street, at Mather Street , Hartford, CT 06120Located in the center of this cemetery are the 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 soldiers who served in Connecticut's all-black 29th Regiment. Although many headstones are missing, at one time there were at least 26 military issued headstones for the 29th Regiment soldiers buried here. There are also graves here of African Americans who served in other Civil War units, including at least four from the 31st Regiment U.S. Colored Troops and nearly twenty from other Colored Troops regiments. The stones provided by the military can differ from one another but are usually made of marble or granite, stand upright and have a rounded top. The war or the soldier’s name generally appears at the top of the stone, with the company, regiment, date of death and soldier’s age listed underneath. Nearby is the stone of James Law, with the inscription: "Born a slave in Virginia, Died in Hartford 1881, the Freedman of the Lord."
