Free Genealogy Birth & Death Record on the Coffin Plate of Samuel Huntington 1731~1796
His Excellency
Samuel Huntington Esquire
Governor of the state of Connecticut
Was Born July 16 1731
And Died January 5th 1796
Aged 54 Years
Note: Last fall the Norwich (CT) Historical Society reconstructed the
tomb of Samuel Huntington and his wife in Norwich, CT. The remains of Samuel and Martha had to be removed while the work was being done. Although the coffins had deteriorated we were able to retrieve the
coffin plates and attach them to the new coffins that the deceased were transferred to when reconstruction was completed.

Coffin plates often contain birth and death dates, and sometimes the place of birth or the occupation of a deceased person.
While not technically a true vital record, coffin plates can be seen as a substitute for vital records or at the least a good clue. In the case of people who died before civil registration it might be one of the few written records genealogists will find in their hunt for that brick wall ancestor!
If you want to know more about what things qualify as a true Vital Records there is a good article at the Olive Tree.
Remember when searching for Coffin Plates on the net they are sometimes referred to as Coffin Plaques, Casket plates or Casket Plaques.
