Tombstone Tuesday (May 27, 2014) -- Abby Hunt Miller (1807 - 1893)


The tombstone pictured above was in bad shape when it was photographed in late March 2010 in the Cumberland Cemetery on Dexter Street in Cumberland, Rhode Island.  Time and the elements had worked on the stone so that the engravings were barely legible.  The stone reads. . . 

                                          ABBY MILLER
                                               Wife of
                                             Eber Miller
                                       Born March 17, 1807
                                       Died April 23, 1893

Abby is my 3rd great grandmother and she has been something of a mystery until just recently. Her parents were unknown and the only facts I had were those engraved on her headstone and family records and an artifact that indicated her maiden name was "Hunt."

Abby is going to be the subject of a future post.
