She was living with daughter Laura Stowell Chapman and had moved from NY to MI in 1834 with the family, where she died 2 years later. STOWELL, Abigail, Hartford Courant, Issue Sep 26, 1836, died Aug 18 at age 79. Exact obit says: At Prarie Ronde, Calamazoo County, Michigan, August 18th, Mrs. Abigail Stowell, aged 79, relict of the late Dr. Oliver Stowell , formerly of Stafford, Conn. STOWELL, Abigail (widow), Columbian Register, Issue Oct 8, 1836 , age 79. STOWELL, Abigial (Widow), Hartford Patriot & Democrat, Issue Sep t 24, 1836, died Aug 18 at age 79. The Stowell Genealogy book has Abigail dying on Aug 18 1856 at a ge 99. She obviously died 20 years earlier, same day (Aug 18) but in 1836 at age 79. And she is listed as "widow" on two of the three entries, and "relict" in the third, which also indicates surviving spouse. I am still searching for Oliver's death date and place, but obviously it was prior to Aug. of 1836. I suspect it was even prior to the 1830 census, because Abigail is living with her daughter Laura and family as a widow in that census in NY. Do you have any locations on Dr. Oliver for 1810, 1820 and/or 1830 please? I've located some other Olivers, but they have all been discounted as being Dr. Oliver. Thanks for any info you may have.
