Go back down and leave the building (or simply use the quick travel). The grave that you seek is located north from Faneuil Hall, near Pickman Gallery and Old North Church (in which Railroad faction has its HQ). Find the small cemetery, get rid of the ghouls and locate the correct grave. The quest will end when you will open the coffin. It is a good idea to take Shem Drowne Sword which is a unique artifact (in addition to that, you will also find the note in the coffin).
