Does anyone know where they might have buried the Saint-Domingue refugees who worshipped in the Spanish (Catholic) chapel in Kingston (corner West & Barry Sts) from 1795-1812 (+/-)? Was there a public (non-religious) cemetery, or would they have been buried in the church (Anglican?) cemetery. I know a lot was destroyed in a fire in the 1880s, then in the 1909? earthquake.
