Research

John Chandler: The trail from my end starts with a Grace W. Dunton who died at Holden, Mass on 1982 May 24 and was born in Mass. on 1895 Nov 8 according to the Mass death index, but was born 1895 Oct 8 according to the SSDI. As it happens, she was the widow of a New Hampshirite named Perley Dunton who had remained single until after the 1940 census, and they were both buried in Swanzey, NH, with a shared gravestone. The question is: do these two trails connect in the middle? If Grace Houghton married between 1920 and 1930, it wasn't to Perley Dunton, but that first husband might have died any time leaving her free to marry a second time. In any case, if you can confirm or refute the hypothesis that the two Graces are the same, I'd be grateful for that information, and, if you can't, then you may want to make a note that it's an open question. The submitter of the gravestone photo on findagrave has connected Perley Dunton to his kin, but has nothing beyond the 1895-1982 inscription for his widow.
