There are a couple possibilities, but the best explanation is that it was erected by the town to replace one that had deteriorated. There is also the possibility that it is just a memorial in the town of Hatfield and the actual burial was in Hadley because there wasn't a dedicated church cemetery in Hatfield yet. I haven't been able to track that info down yet.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035113274497372396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-10773793512285398152014-09-09T01:39:03.768-07:002014-09-09T01:39:03.768-07:00Your research has really paid off.

Along the way they have discovered some long shirt tale cousins, and have had lots of fun. I just haven't gotten into it, but applaud those of you who do.

It is fantastic that grave mark has survived for centuries.So you love the land of your ancestors.<br /> I love American literature and history because most of my ancestors lived in America and some of them lost their life in their dream land. I started to learn English when I was seven because I would like to visit US. But now I believe it would be possible when my daughter is independent. When are going to visit England?<br />Gosiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604712540141917583noreply@blogger.com
