Take a look at the Eliza Baker memoir to see if she mentioned a burial ground. The local African-American churches might know of a cemetery. If the college did set aside a burial ground it might be mentioned in college records. The college's burial practices might not have been modeled on plantation practices, and might have varied over time. Lynn Rainville is a good person to ask about this.
