Although the deaths of Benjamin Lothrop and his wife Mercy are recorded in the Windham town records, there is no known place of their burial. Such absence of a gravestone record suggests they may have been interred at Palmertown Cemetery at present-day Scotland, Conn., where there are many missing or broken stones, or at the original Old North section of the Scotland Village Cemetery at Scotland, Conn., which is not included in Hale's Connecticut Cemetery database.
