There appears to have been a Native American burial ground before 1600 in West Andover on the site that later became the Shattuck Farm. Altough ceramics from earlier times found on the site, do suggest a early settlements, when the Europeans settled in what was to become Andover, there were no Native Americans in the area of the settlement. The population had been erased by a plague in the early 17th century. This is consistant with the practice that Native Americans deserted areas where there had been death's and disease.
