Thank you, Lillian:
I found the long lost Abigail Brownell by searching for her son, Perry. It seems that the indexer for Ancestry had indexed her as 23 yo instead of 73 yo!!!! The '7' is rather funny looking but it clearly is NOT'2' . . .
Since her cemetery stone does say she died in 1854 I knew she had to be there. I had tried every possible spelling for Brownell in the search AND every possible spelling/nickname for Abigail. It never occurred to me that the indexer would have her age wrong by 50 years!
Thank you, again.
