Abstract:

Graham Tull Richardson’s name reflects a common practice during the nineteenth century: naming a child after the family doctor, John Graham Tull. What follows the origin of Graham Richardson’s name is a discussion of Dr. Tull’s heritage. Noted events included: arrival of Dr. Tull’s great-great-great grandfather, Reverend Dr. Charles Chauncy, in Plymouth in 1638; his mother Eliza Graham’s marriage to Isaac Tull in 1814; and the burial of Dr. Tull’s daughter, Julia, in Cedar Grove Cemetery in 1934.

Abstract:

"In 1913, New Bern City Council had a problem on its hands. The Cedar Grove Cemetery was running out of space. This old cemetery located along Queen and George Streets in New Bern is one of the finest historical cemeteries in the state. Founded in 1800 by Christ Episcopal Church after yellow fever filled up its capus graveyard, Cedar Grove would become the final resting place of many of the city's founders and heroes."
