I have searched for Sevigna's gravesite for years, and found a reference that he was buried in Old Concord Cemetery, close to where Ann Rutledge is buried. I made 3 trips to the cemetery and never found the site.
Only after I found Find A Grave and found a reference to his wife Charry, actually Charity, did I go to Concord Cemetery (not far from Old Concord)and find Charry. On the adjacent side of the tombstone, I found Sevigna!!
He is my gg grandfather who I thought was a poor dirt farmer. I was very wrong. He was a very successful farmer who, in 1883 left a considerable amount of land and money to his 7 children.
