Grandmother of Senator Delazon Smith of Oregon.
Wrote another grandson in a family letter: "She was 91 years old when she died. I visited her grave and that of Grandfather on the Cone place & copied from their tombstones the following: "Joseph Briggs Esq died on the 29th day of March 1832 aged 82 years". "Patience widow of Joseph Briggs Esq died Oct 10th 1848 – aged 91 years."
The Briggs appear as near neighbors to their likely daughter, Sarah (Mrs. John) Cone, on the 1830 Pittsfield census, and it may be that this cemetery is on property that once belonged to Sarah.
