November 15, 1860 Litchfield Plymouth CT Tombstone We also find it a small Mystery that Polly Fenn died on 15 Nov 1860 in Plymouth Twp., and that (Polly's) son Garrett b. 1805, died 26 Oct 1861 there, and
son Samuel Sherman who went there ( CT for [What??]) also died there
shortly after Garrett did in 1861; we find this strange to say the least??? Possibly, both sons were settling the estate of Polly, caught Pneumonia, and died?? We just don't know, but one was 56 and the other 55 years old...
