presumed that he and Mehetable were buried in the cemetery of the old
church yard at Exeter, which became disused in 1696 when the new meeting house
was erected. It was the second oldest place of burial in Exeter, and for
nearly one hundred years most of the leading men were interred there. Early
in 1800, on the sole authority of a few of the leading men of the town, all of
the tombs and tombstones were removed from the yeard and the ground leveled.
