In search of birth/baptism/marriage record for Abigail H. Riddle, B 1824 in Delaware County, New York

Question

I currently do not have a birth/baptism or marriage source for my 4xgreat grandmother Abigail H. (Riddle) Smith. The sources I do have for her birth date are from other trees and I'm hoping to find a better source to confirm this and hopefully be able to add some of her siblings to WikiTree.

- She was allegedly born on July 13th, 1824 in Davenport, Delaware County, New York to Robert Henry Riddle and Sarah Harkness.

- She married William M. Smith somewhere prior to 1850.

- She and William moved to Michigan after 1850 and she eventually dies in Lapeer County, Michigan.

- I have one source of her in New York (the 1850 Census) and the rest are in Michigan.

- All current sources are listed on her profile.

Can anyone find a birth or baptism record for her? I want to be able to add in her parents to WikiTree and start filling in her siblings.

Answer 1

 

 

Her death certificate.

Comments

If she were 80 years and nine months, it would put her birth year as 1823, rather than 1824.

Is there a transcription available for that image? I'm unable to read it, sadly.

Thanks for scoping it out!

I've found her supposed parents and a few siblings living in Davenport, Delaware County in the 1850 and 1860 Censuses, so I added them into WikiTree. None of the records so far list her father's middle name as "Henry", so I am not sure where that is coming from in the other family trees.

Another oddity - her supposed brother William is listed in records with the surname spelled "Riddell" in the 1900 Census and his tombstone rather than "Riddle" in all the other Censuses.
