Jude, from everything I have read so far it would seem that the executed where simply buried in a sallow, unmarked grave or their body thrown in a hole of a pile of rocks. That has bothered me more than anything I have found so far. To my family both mother's side and father's side, and being part Cherokee, the burial place of a loved one is very important. ( I am sure it is that way with all families) so it really upset me to read that. I also read that the family of Rebecca Nurse went and recovered her body and she was buried properly. Linda
