Roxanna Ellison Memorial in Abbott Cemetery also contains a memorial note on the same stone to husband Elam Abbott. He is actually interred in Sunnyside Cemetery in Coupeville, Island County, Washington USA where his FindAGrave ID is 59283225. His ID in the Abbott Cemetery is 51731140.
She married Elam Abbott on 21 Feb 1829 in Stockbridge, VT. They had 9 Children.
Roxanna's name on the cemetery stone is 'Roxcy,' but it is uncertain if this was intentional or an error by the stone engraver. Other erroneous spellings appear in the cemetery; so this could have been correct or not as it was likely derived from a handwritten document rather than word of mouth. (also, spelling it verbally could have sounded like Roxc, rather than Roxe.) No assumptions made here as to the correctness of the spelling for any of these versions.
As with many individuals in documented history, her nickname appears in a variety of ways - handwritten family bible records appear to spell her name as it is on the gravestone, i.e. 'Roxcy,' but her marriage documents spell it 'Roxy.' She also appears in the 1860 US Census for Stockbridge, Vermont as 'Roxa' - which may have been an abbreviation for her full name.
