Jan, St. Louis No. 1 was known as the “Catholic Cemetery.” (St. Louis No. 2 was not available for burials until 1823.) St. Louis No. 1 had a Protestant section that was referred to as the “Protestant Burying Ground.” The land for the Protestant cemetery that later became known as the Girod Street Cemetery (no longer in existence) was donated by the city in 1822, but burials may not have begun until some time after that. My guess is that in 1822 the “Catholic Burying Ground” is today’s St. Louis No. 1 and the “Protestant Burying Ground” was the Protestant section of St. Louis No. 1, only a small portion of which still exists. The location of what’s left can be seen in the lower left of this map: http://cml.upenn.edu/nola/SrchMappgs/L0Intrositemap_base.html This information comes from NEW ORLEANS ARCHITECTURE, VOLUME III: THE CEMETERIES.
