Free Genealogy Death Record on the Coffin Plate of Abbie E Wood and Jotham E Wood
Abbie E Wood
Aged 20 yrs
Jotham E Wood
Died Nov 10th 1854
Age 19 Yrs
I suggest using the Trial Access on Ancestry.com
This coffin plates for Abbie E Wood and Jotham E Wood were found in Vermont. This coffin plate for Abbie E Wood has no date but from the style of the coffin plate we can tell it is from around the 1850s. When looking at the engraving we can tell that the plates for Abbie and Jotham were done by the same man but not at the same time. The engraving on the Plate for Abbie is not as well done as the plate for Jotham.
I went and had a hunt for Abbie E Wood and Jotham E Wood in the 1850 United States Federal Census on Ancestry.com. I beleve I found Jotham as you can see below but Abbie is not with him. I can not explain the fact that Abbie is not with him other than Abbie may have died before the 1850 census. There are many thousands of genealogy entries for the Wood surname.

Coffin plates often contain birth and death dates, and sometimes the place of birth or the occupation of a deceased person.
While not technically a true vital record, coffin plates can be seen as a substitute for vital records or at the least a good clue. In the case of people who died before civil registration it might be one of the few written records genealogists will find in their hunt for that brick wall ancestor!
If you want to know more about what things qualify as a true Vital Records there is a good article at the Olive Tree.
Remember when searching for Coffin Plates on the net they are sometimes referred to as Coffin Plaques, Casket plates or Casket Plaques.
