Unless the town was VERY large there would likely be only one cemetery run by the town. It is unlikely you will get information as bodies (unless important people) are usually left for about 20 - 30 years then the bones moved to a bone vault either communal or owned by the town. Before 1809 bodies were usually placed in a communal grave under the church!
