About: Interred in the Burying Yard is Bristol (ca. 1731-1814), an African kidnapped into slavery before the Revolutionary War, who purchased his freedom and achieved a degree of prosperity and respect unusual for a black man of his time in America. His life is extremely well documented and includes his manumission pepers, hiw will, the house in which he lived as both an enslaved and free person, and his gravestone in the Old Center Burying Yard.
