Thanks, everyone, for the helpful replies. All of the published sources listed in the posts have been consulted, as have been numerous other sources. However, the mention on Bear Island is a new one, and a much appreciated tidbit. Thanks, McDude, for posting the info on Old Tom and George Savage. They're already a part of the book. Out of the 100's of old cemeteries in NH I've studied, the inclusion of a horse (a "charger") burial is pretty unique. Was hoping Rattlesnake Island had something. The only other documented sites I'm aware of so far are those found on Sleeper Island and Governor's Island. By the way, the book is due out in mid-2006...I'll keep you "posted".
