Help me solve a mystery!🧐

I've been working on some family history stuff, and I found this old map in with our family records. The outside of the scroll is labeled "cemetery."

The map is very old and difficult to read. I've made a copy and included my best guesses to potential names.

Here is all I know and some potential clues:

1. We can trance our family members all the way back to early colonial America.
2. One ancestor was a minister at the church of Wethersfield.
3. The vast majority of the records I have are from Hartford.

I was able to take a trip recently out to Hartford, and see several gravestones belonging to my ancestors in the Ancient Burial ground! Since making rubbings of the headstones is damaging, I took a lot of photos and used one as a reference to make a stamp.

So what do you all think? 🤔 Is this map a piece of recorded history from Ancient Burial Ground?
