Dover - First Settlers Burial Ground 1633 Dover's Burial Ground of the First Settlers is located on Dover Point Rd and was established in 1633. Most of the gravestones of the origial settlers are gone or buried themselves. There are currently 26 entries for this cemetery. *Update August 1, 2011: I revisited this cemetery over the weekend and am distressed to find it in much worse condition with many more broken monuments.
