More my misunderstandings more likely.<br /><br />The historical society plaque has inconsistencies within. Millie's marker says that she died aged 32 years in 1860. Yet the historical plaque says she lived from 1840 to 1860 which is a mere 20 years.<br /><br />Furthermore, according to the historical plaque, her parents were born in 1812 and 1815. Had she been 32 upon her death, her parents would have been 16 and 13 when she were born. And he a minister of the cloth ... <br /><br />Also, the historical plaque surely should styled her name Amelia Alexander Adamson instead of the way it obviously has. Plus, would her own larger grave marker have been provided by her son, who surely would have been very young upon her demise. Perhaps he had it erected much later ... <br /><br />Terrific story to have chanced upon, but power to you for chasing it all down. Until next week ...Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-30161436767909597322012-03-21T14:21:25.884-04:002012-03-21T14:21:25.884-04:00Your persistence has been rewarded.
