On the site for History of First Parish of Norwell, Mass., 1642-2000, http://www.gis.net/~fpnma/history.htm#earbeg, I found the following informaton: "The First Parish of Scituate was established in 1634 and the meeting house was erected on Meeting House Lane just below the old cemetery as you go toward the ocean." Can anyone tell me the current name of the cemetery refered to above? Is there a list of the people buried there? Thank you, Kendall Mellem keks@kc.rr.com

Kendall, The cemetery you are referring to may be the "Men of Kent Cemetery". There is a monument in the cemetery that I believe has a list of names on it. For pictures go to www.21cent.net/scituate and hit the Men of Kent Cemetery link under Miscellaneous. This site also has many pictures of Scituate and a link to maps from the 1940's. For list of names, go to ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ma/plymouth/towns/scituate/cemeteries/meethse.txt Hope this helps.

After the First Parish in Scituate a second parish was established in South Scituate. When South Scituate became the separate town of Norwell this church became the First Congregational of Norwell. It is now the First Unitarian of Norwell. This is possibly still the repository of the records of the original records of the Second Congregational of Scituate. To illustrate the early prevalence (sp?) of the Congo churchs - While in grad school in Cambridge (almost 50 yrs ag) I read in the newspapers of the burning (not arson) of a First Baptist Church in Boston. The building had started life as the 14th Congo of Boston! Brian Littlefield Ft. Wayne, IN
