Nathaniel is in this very cemetery and Sarah (Goddard) Bayley is prob in this cemetery as well. That is prob her grave, face down, next to Nathaniel, or with the grouping that James is with. A few of these stones are missing, broken, stood back up, leaning, and face down. 9 Jan 2014 I am just realizing that this memorial is a duplicate because an earlier memorial was created and the Reverend's last name was changed. I have to keep this memorial with the correct information because it is posted on the Weymouth Historical Society website, and he is well documented by the Town/City of Weymouth with the correct spelling as well. I apologize for the inconvenience. Also, there is no indication that Sarah (Goddard) Bayley is in any tomb, nor in the field at Central Burying Ground, nor Granary for that matter. If she was, there would be a death or burial date with the tomb information. It is obvious that her stone had been tipped over, gone missing, or possibly destroyed before 1950 when all cemeteries were being researched for Vitals. Her last child was born in Weymouth 1745. The only other likely scenario there would be is the Eliot Burying Ground in Roxbury with her mom, and there is no indication of that.
