Irene 4 BIGELOW
Irene (Bigelow) and Daniel Marsh; West Cemetery; Manchester, Hartford County, CT
1215. Irene 4,
daughter of
Jonathan 3 ( Jonathan 2, John 1) BIGELOW and Mabel
(EDWARDS) BIGELOW, was baptised 04
November 1711 at First Church, Hartford, Hartford co, CT. She was
married
at unknown date to Daniel MARSH, baptised 30 October 1709 First
Church Hartford,
son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (SPENCER) MARSH. He died 06 October
1793 at
Hartford.
We have several conflicting dates for
Irene's death,
including a 1770 one from Hale's Cemetery Collections, but the
most conclusive
evidence we have is the probate record in her father's estate. He
died 1749,
and ten years later Daniel MARSH petitioned the court to conclude
division
of the estate, he so doing on behalf of his "deceased wife Irene's
heirs."
Therefore we conclude that his wife Irene was by then dead.
Barbour further
states that Daniel MARSH married (2) Anne (STANLEY) PITKIN, widow
of Joshua
PITKIN, but NSDAR Patriot Index says this was Daniel jr.

Mabel Richardson
Connecticut Deaths and Burials, 1772-1934
birth: 1742
death: 5 August 1798
Two different newspaper dates of death
There is another reference that states she died on 4 Aug 1798 in
the Connecticut, U.S., Deaths and Burials Index, 1650-1934.
A close up of the gravestone seems to indicate 4 Aug 1798 as her
death date.
