Indian Graveyards There are numerous Indian burial grounds in and around Amityville. Although no Indian graves have been found on the present day yard of the famous Amityville house, the house and several nearby Indian graveyards were all owned by a member of the Ketcham family on a piece of land that took up the whole neighborhood. The most important Indian burial site is at the corner of Merrick Rd and Cedar Shore Rd., 1.5 miles from the famous Amityville house. That was the only spot on Long Island where a large number of Indians were killed. Local people believed that "earth in that spot was remarkably different from the ground about it, being strongly tinged with a reddish cast, which the old people said was occasioned by the blood of the Indians." It is from this old legend that the story of the angry Indian Chief (Sachem) came from. The chief of these Indians was Takapausha who hated the Dutch, but got along well with the English Puritans. After the Dutch were driven out the English Governor made sure he and his Massapequan tribe was justly compensated for their land. |
