Rhode Island Historical Cemeteries Transcription Project Link visited 11/2001. Searches were conducted only on those without other biographical data included elsewhere.  Much of this information is only tentatively accurate in that it is assumed that 1) they are included in the database, 2) there was no confusion based on the names and time periods, and 3) that they had been buried in Rhode Island. Many, including Abraham Whipple, Nathan Salsibury, and Benjamin Page were, in fact,. buried in other states.
