Indian Shore Cemetery
Lakeville, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA
The graves of William Smith and Thomas Smith, brothers and direct descendents of Massasoit, were not marked with Indian-style fieldstones, but with European-style headstones and footstones. At some recent point in time, these stones were moved from their original location to a location by wetlands. In the fall of 2008, the footstone for Thomas Smith was stolen, and in March 2009, it was recovered. The four stones are now in the possession of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe.
This burial place is referenced to in the book "Lakeville, Massachusetts, Gravestones Inscriptions 1711-2003" by Jean Douillette as "Indian Shore Cemetery".
This burial place is referenced to in the book "Old Cemeteries of Southeastern Massachusetts" by Charles M Thatcher as "Graves on Betty's Neck".
