Jehoiakim Burgett/Sarah White

Just me again.I don't know if I already shared this with you in the past and you are looking for validation or not.What I have is not proof.Sarah White was an Indian, descendent of Massasoit.She married Jehoikim.It appears that he died before she did, and she traveled with her children to Ohio from NY.She is buried on my family's homestead at the home of her son, my GGGrandparent, Almarion Monroe Burgett.My father knows the site of her burial on the property which is still in the family hands, however, a great aunt of mine, elderly who will likely bequeath the property to her niece, thereby leaving Burgett descendents.My father has told me that there WAS a marker at one time, but over time it has disappeared.She was not buried in the local burial ground, (I was told) because she was full blooded indian.) This may only be conjecture.I don't know this for a fact.But the family belief that she was indian is very strong indeed.email me if you have any further questions for me. I welcome any other thoughts on her life or burial.You haven't found the resting place of Jehoikim, Sr, have you? I would love to know that info if you find it.
