Add PhotosBurial place of the sachem Mauquash (also spelled Manquash).
He was buried under an apple tree, in a place called the 'old chimney lot', a short distance east from the Eleazer Mitchell house (also spelled Elizur), also a short distance away from the old site of the village on the elevated plain. The land then belonged to Amos Mitchell.
There was a mound at the site.
