Abraham Bigelow 1555E 14t, age 24, m.
27 Dec. 1856, in Greenfield (Deerfield, record) MA, by W. C. High, paster
of M. E. Church at Greenfield. To Sophronia S.. Rice, age 21, b. 1 May 1835,
Deerfield, MA, dau. of Samuel and Lucinda
(Dibble) Rice. I believe this to be the first and only marriage for
the both of them. They were married a couple of years prior to the
birth of their son George,. And the mother of George is called Prudence,
which leads to some confusion. Sophronia's middle initial is given
as S. (at the time of her marriage), and later on as P. It is believed
that the S. initial is an error of the clerk and in fact should have been
a P. Thus, she like many others of her time elected
to use her middle name , Prudence more often then her first given name. Prudence
d. 18 May 1904, ae. 69 yrs. 7 mos 16 days . It is believed that some
one erred in the months and was a day off. I have searched the Deerfield
records and cannot find a death for Sophronia nor a marriage for Prudence.
Which leads me to believe they are one and the same person. Thanks
Ken
