In 1888, workers in West Medford discovered the remains of 18 Native Americans, which were believed at the time to be those of Wonohaquaham and some of his followers. A 10 foot high monument was erected near the site in what is now known as Sagamore Park. However, John Winthrop's report of Wonohaquaham's death suggests that he was cared for during his final days and buried by Samuel Maverick of Winnesimmet, current day Chelsea, Massachusetts. In contrast, Wonohaquaham's father Nanepashemet was known to have been killed in a siege of his palisade fort in 1617 in Medford, where his burial site was discovered in 1619 by Edward Winslow. As such, Sagamore Park may be Nanepashemet's final resting place and not Wonohaquaham's.
