Message: I am troubled by this memorial in Old Burying Ground. Abigail certainly lived in Groton while married to Thomas Woods and lived on the north side of Brown Loaf Hill, just east of Groton center, although she apparently sold it after Thomas's death. I find their marriage in Groton Vital Records, but I do not find her death (or Thomas's) there recorded and there is no headstone for her or any of her family in the Old Burying Ground where one would expect at least one of the stones to survive. "Nutting" and "Woods" are both names of Groton. This might be a case of an as-of-yet undiscovered family cemetery.
Please mark the memorial with "No known headstone". It keeps descendants from driving across country to photograph a headstone that isn't there (this happens 2-3 times a year in Groton).
