Mary Waite Wells
Hi Stanley,
I saw on Mary Waite Wells's FindAGrave page https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/150442626/mary-wells that you've requested a photo of her gravestone and Jan D said that Mary is not buried in Hill Cemetery. That's because Mary was killed in the 1704 massacre of Deerfield, Mass. I believe she's buried there where they were killed on the fateful day. It's said she was scalped. And her father, Sgt. Benjamin Waite, the famous Indian scout, was stripped and mutilated by the Indians. Hope this helps your genealogical journey.
