Researcher's notes

This coffin plate (if it is a coffin plate) for J.T. Cone was found in Mass. Submited by Marge Winkler. Thanks Marge.

With no first name and no dates I could not find out who this person was. Just for fun I went and had a hunt for J.T. Cone in the 1870 United States Federal Census on Ancestry.com. I found several individuals of interest as you can see below.
