Hi, Dot: Thanks for your reply. I assume you are referring to the fact that Rev. John Lothropp was buried in "the Calves Pasture. This is an interesting thought and perhaps that has something to do with the place of interment. I had always assumed that the early settlers of Barnstable had simply consecrated a section of a calves pasture for a burial ground in lieu of a more formal cemetery. Perhaps not. Although, I think they got on well with the local Mashpee Tribe. Again, perhaps not! Actually the Calves Pasture is now in someone's back yard. I drove out there and it is all moors and dunes and no place for a two wheel drive!I'm in Delaware. Where are you located?
Best, phil
