This was the burial place of the victims of the 1704 French and Indian raid on Deerfield, several of whom, the Smeads and Nimses, were collaterally related to me through the Stoughton family. Deerfield Academy adjoins the property. Although I am only collaterally related to these Deerfield residents, I enjoyed visiting the town during the 300th anniversary of the raid in 2004, and look forward to more opportunities to visit it and similar New England villages.
