I have done a great deal of research on the Clay Pit Cemetery. There are a few more bodies that are unmentioned, some are children, Native American Indians, a drummer from the Revolutionary War and free colored Americans.
Market Basket paved over some of the bodies. I made several attempts to notify proper authorities to, at lease, put a marker with all the names of known and unknown. My attempts went Unnoticed, and now people just park their cars over the bodies. Even you have not listed all of the known names. Maybe it’s all just a lost cause. THE CURSE WILL LIVE ON
