Inez Augusta Moulton, b 07 May 1857 Monson, MA; d 02 Apr 1860; (see below)<>

16112.5711     Inez Augusta Moulton, b 07 May 1857 Monson, MA, was the daughter of Menzies R(ufus) Moulton and his first wife, Maria A. Reed.  Maria was born Abt. March 1836 and married Menzies 15 Aug 1856 in Templeton, Worcester County, MA, supposedly at the age of 19 (birth year would then be 1837)  Maria was the daughter of Abel and Polly Reed.
Maria died 13 Sep 1859 in Rutland, Worcester County, MA, of "consumption" - tuberculosis of the lungs - at age 23 years 6 months. 
Her daughter Inez died 04 Feb 1860 (not 1960) of "scarlatina" - scarlet fever.- in Rutland, Worcester County, MA.

The first born child of Menzies and his second wife, Oella Louisa 8 Bigelow, was Sarah.  It is my understanding that she should carry the Bigelow identifier of 16112.5711, not Inez.  In fact, Inez should not have any Bigelow identifier.
Volume II of The Bigelow Family Genealogy says that Menzies (and Maria) had at least 2 children.  As of yet I have been unable to find a second child. (From: Donald E. Bigelow < dbigelow@tampabay.rr.com > )
