[add comment] [edit] Burial Location? [2 July 2009]It seems a little strange to me that in 1675 a person would die in Plymouth, MA, according to good sources, where he resided according to his will, would be buried in Rhode Island (actually then Swansea, MA). The data that was on this page gave the burial as Date: 18 DEC 1675, Place:Barrington, Bristol, Rhode Island, United States, Description: Tyler Point Cemetery. No source was attached. After a quick search, the Internet sites I find giving this same burial give a death date of 7 Jul 1676 which does not add to their credibility. I also noticed one website that says that Jacob's widow Elizabeth married Hugh Cole and they appear to both be buried in Tyler Point Cemetery. Therefore I assume it was just a poor assumption that Jacob was buried with his widow. If I am wrong in removing this information, please provide reputable sources. --Jrich 19:48, 1 July 2009 (EDT)
