Lonetown Cemetery (Isaac Hamilton Cemetery)

Lonetown Cemetery (also known as Isaac Hamilton Cemetery) is located at 171 Lonetown Road, in Redding, Connecticut. The cemetery is situated on land donated by Isaac Hamilton in his will (1831). "The burying ground which I have appropriated for the use of my neighbors in Lonetown, so called, I hereby reserve for that use forever; it being fourteen rods in length, and three in width . . ." (Information from Find A Grave.) Most of the surnames are the same - mainly Bartram and Hamilton. At least half of the stones are destroyed and the remaining stones are mostly illegible. The cemetery seems to span the 1800s. The earliest intact memorial I found was dated 1820. None of the surviving stones date past the 1890s.

Estimated number of interments, as of January 2024: at least 45.
