Notes par Mary Pitts

In the publication, "«u»Sons of John Briggs of Taunton, Mass.«/u»", the beneficiaries of Mary Pitts Briggs will were Eliakim , described as a clothier; Matthew as a blacksmith; Henry (of Putney, Vt.) as a blacksmith; Darius as a joiner; Lemuel Williams of Granville, NY and Abigail, his wife; Thomas Read od Dighton and Mary, his wife; William Dryer, of Rehoboth and Deliverance, his wife.

"This picture of the gravestone of Matthew Briggs, died of small pox, 20 Nov [1763] in the 58 year of his life is so important to our family history. Edna Hannibal gave incorrect information on him in her NEHGS series. She stated that he died of small pox during a 1756 expedition to Crown Point. Matthew's son, Sylvester, did die on the way home from Crown Point as she stated, but I could find no information on his father having been part of that expedition. There is a transcription of this cemetery online at NEHGS. That transcription states that this is the grave of Mrs. Matthew Briggs, died 20 Nov 1763. That clearly is not what the inscription says. There also exists a typescript that correlates names, dates of death, spouse or parents names, and cemetery. I believe it is the result of a Boy Scout's Eagle Scout service project and last I knew, was in the possession of Elaine Varley. SKS was able to gain possession of and copy the Briggs pages for me and that listed Matthew Briggs d 20 Nov 1763, not Mrs. Matthew. «b»Hannibal mentions the settlement of the Estate of this Matthew's widow (Mary Pitts) but does not give a death date for her. Her death is not in the Dighton VR's. The only date associated with her death is the 1784 sale of land by William and Deliverence (Briggs) Dryer one fifth part of 23 acres in Taunton. Since it does not appear Mary (Pitts) Briggs is buried in Dighton with Matthew, I think she may have relocated with one of her children, perhaps with Henry in Putney, VT or dau. Abigail Williams in Granville NY. All the other children were in the Bristol Co., MA area.
