Graveyard Burials of Henry Leadbetter, 1st Wife, Sarah (Tolman) Ledbetter & 2nd Wife, Relief (Holland) Foster Leadbetter:
"He (Henry Leadbetter) was doubtless buried in the Old Dorchester Burying Ground, although no stone marks the spot of his last resting place, or of that of his first wife, the mother of his children. Very few stones were used in the early burials; the graves of only a few of all the Mayflower colonists are known today. His second wife, Relief, is also buried there, and a small stone with a fairly decipherable inscription marks her grave."
