Just a note about early 19th century death records. When I was preparing my book on Unity, a neighboring town to Acworth, I examined (in the town office) all of the Unity Vital records prior to 1850 (and most of the records for the entire century.) There were VERY FEW death records prior to the 1860's, and not too many even then. Once in a while there would be a death of an adult noted in the early years, but generally the deaths that were recorded were the deaths of infants and children which were noted alongside their birth dates in the entire family record. I would be surprised if there were any "official" death record in 1839 for Wyman Richardson in Acworth. One place I would recommend looking to find some confirmation of his death place would be looking for a death notice in a paper such as the New Hampshire Patriot published in Concord (available on microfilm at the NH State Library and NH Historical Society in Concord). Another paper was the Argus/ Spectator published in Claremont and Newport - also available on microfilm. These notices almost always stated the place of death. While newspaper notices often did not contain much data in these years, occasionally there will be an extensive obituary. Kathy Beals
