In the late 1600s, settlers of Chebacco (now known as Essex, Massachusetts) broke away from the town of Ipswich to create their own parish. They built a meetinghouse and designated an acre lot for a graveyard. Nearly a century and a half later, the villagers' sacred burial ground became the site of the largest recorded grave robbing in New England’s history. In our latest Timeline, based on author Rob Fitzgibbon's series for The Cricket, this is the story of The Essex Body Snatcher.
This is part of the Timeline: Cape Ann series Kory produces for 1623 Studios, the public access station serving Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
