concluded…

remarry, and that we need not wonder too hard whether she’s buried under some other name. And again, since my unsourced information has her dying in Colebrook, one would suppose that she’s most likely buried there.

It would appear, moreover, that my Uncle Sylvester Stillman (unlike many of his family who went with the “Mormons” in the 1830s) was around to sell Amanda’s dower land well after her death; one doubts that he’d have let her be buried without a marker: the family was too prominent and prosperous for that, wouldn’t you think?

Any suggestions where I might look for her stone? She isn’t (at least visibly) buried with her parents in the Beech Plain ground in Sandisfield. Nor in the Beech Hill cemetery in Colebrook, with Appleton and Sarah. But I haven’t yet been in all of Colebrook’s burial grounds.

Again, boundless thanks. May I adopt you?
