INFORMATION below provided by Anonymous (#47283828):
The year of death on the gravestone was transcribed by members of the Ashfield Historical Soc. as 1830 rather than 1850.
Mass vital records Ashfield deaths:
----, (Cranston), w. Eben, consumption, Oct. 22, 1830, a. 50, C.R.1. [Nabby, w. Ebenezer. G.R.4.]
here is what the Ashfield folks recorded:
In memory of
Mrs NABBY
Wife of
Ebenezer Cranston
Who died
Oct. 22nd 1830
In the 51st year
of her age
W. D. B. Linn
***********
The tombstone does not say died 22 oct 1850 !! We verified that it was 22 Oct 1830, not only by the church records in the vital records, but also by a notice in the Hampshire Gazette, Northampton, Mass. 17 Nov. 1830, p 3. In Ashfield, 22 Oct. Mrs. Abigail Cranston, wife of Mr. Ebenezer Cranston, age 50. We also did a rubbing of the stone and it was clearly 1830.
