instantly destroyed by the earliest settlers in the region while converting farmland in the 1700s and the burial grounds themselves were desecrated repeatedly with the last known bodies being discovered during the 1920s.

All of this predates Native American lobbied laws passed in the 1970s which made deliberate disruption or desecration of Native American remains illegal in the US. No one has any clear idea as to what happened to the bodies or if any intact graves still remain.
