Rebecca Nurse, who was hung following her conviction for witchcraft, is buried on the family homestead in Danvers, Massechusetts. She was initially buried near the gallows where she was executed, but her family came in the night to dig her up and spirit the body away to lay her to rest near their home. There is a granite marker upon the site. Wikipedia has all the details, and a link is provided.
Rebbeca Nurse's actual burial site on her homestead is unknown as it was illegal for the family to remove her body from Gallows Hill following her hanging. Being condemned as a witch meant that she was not to receive a Christian burial and therefore the bodies were to remain where they fell upon execution to decay or be crudely covered with rocks. Family or friends who took it upon themselves to remove the bodies, did so illegally and faced persecution themselves for trying to provide a proper burial for their family or friends. Rebecca's family and a couple others did have their bodies "illegally" removed from Gallows Hill and their families secretly buried them to avoid persecution.
