26] LIST OF THE EUROPEAN GRAVES IDENTIFIED [42 NOS] IN THE ST JOHN'S ANGLICAN [C. S. I.] CHURCH CEMETERY, THALASSERRY, KANNUR

Altogether, I could trace around 72 graves in the cemetery that can be classified as European. Among them, 42 graves are identified. The remaining 30 graves are unidentified due to the absence of regular headstones or lack of  legible inscriptions. For an updated list see the link here.

Following is a tabulated list of graves identified and arranged in ascending chronological order. The details given below are taken directly from the epitaph on the site unless specified separately. If the names and numbers [dates, age etc.] appear differently in the lists of Cotton [1905] and Roberts and Chekkutty [2013], they are given in brackets. For instance, the epitaph [No. 2] reads 'Gaspar Moritz Gleetz' on the actual site, but Roberts and Chekkutty's list [2013] has the name 'Gasper Moritz Cadeetz'. Similarly, the date of his birth is also recorded differently, 10 December, 1730 instead of 16 December, 1730 as inscribed on the epitaph.
