Hi there: I was in the Old North Church Cemetery in Andover yesterday and I noticed an additional inscription on the back of Mary Hilton's stone...it reads (to the affect, I forgot the exact wording but will get a picture for you if you'd like!) "niece of Maj. Gen. Henry Dearborn, body stolen after burial"....I found this quite interesting and wanted to find out if you know anything about this?? Thanks! Karey. This bears further sleuthing.
