We'll research in local historical societies--using maps and deeds, etc--to make a few educated guesses about her burial site. If we did pinpoint a couple of good guesses, what would we need to do next to find out if her body is there? She was buried in 1672. I know the odds of tracking down her burial site are slim already--but, I feel like I should ask: are we living in a complete fantasy land here? Or is there a way to find a body that has been buried for over 300 years?
