On an elevated spur of ground extending to the "Great Pond", situated nearly opposite the place where recently Thomas H. White lived, once stood a log house supposed to have been the first home of Mr. Wyman. Not far distant, near the shore of the pond and nearly in the rear of the dwelling of Willis H. Mace, was a burial place in the early days. Many years ago the mounds were plainly visible and were marked at head and foot by field-stones. No record, no tradition of the origin of this burial place has come down to the present generation. Hannah Wyman died on 24 April 1769, and here undoubtedly her father laid the remains to final rest on his own land to be followed in a few years by others of his own family and by the bodies of deceased neighbors. ...

Mr. Benjamin added in a footnote that he visited this spot in April 1897 and found that the graves were from four to six rods from the pond. "The ground is pasture, has never been ploughed and place of six graves can be seen faintly." Copied from "History of Winthrop" by: Stackpole
