The book Drapers in America published in 1892 identifies James (7) and Abigail his wife as being buried in the First Parish Cemetery at Dedham, Mass (page 21). This is not James (7) and his wife Abigail Whiting but James' son Capt. James (17) and his wife Abigail Child. James (7) and his wife Abigail Whiting are buried in the Westerly Burying Ground in West Roxbury, MA., the same cemetery as his father James (2) the Puritan and his wife Marriam Stansfield.
Note: The First Parish Cemetery is now called "The Burial Place" at Dedham, MA. It is located behind the St. Paul's Episcopal Church on the corner of Court St. and Village St.
The Westerly Cemetery is located at 1859 Centre St. West Roxbury, MA.
I visited the two graveyards and took pictures of all the Drapers buried in each.
A few yards down the road from the Westerly Burying Ground in West Roxbury is a large sign identifying The Draper Playground, a tribute to the early Drapers of the area.
