Biography

Abigail Cornelia Stedman, born 17 June 1808 in Tyringham, Massachusetts, was a daughter of Huldah (Herrick; 1786 - 1862) and Tristrim Stedman (1781-1831) ^[1].

Abigail married about 1827, Ambrose Spencer (1806-1885). There were at least 11 children of this family.

The family remained in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, until lat least 1855 ^[2],^[3]. By 1870 they had relocated to Bridgewater Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, where they remained ^[4],^[5].

Abigail Cornelia (Stedman) Spencer died 6 Nov 1899, possibly in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, but her grave may be in Montrose Cemetery, in Montrose, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, USA ^[6].

Note: The header panel of the online memorial site presents her middle name as Celia, which probably is an error, as the (transcribed) baptism listing is printed Cornelia. The grave marker stone is inscribed simply with the initial 'C'.
