Researcher's notes
Provenance
This coffin plate for Pamelia A Grovesteen was found in New York. I thought at first that the name on this coffin plate was Pamelia but it may be Permelia.
1880 United States Federal Census
I went and had a hunt for Pamelia A Grovesteen in the 1880 United States Federal Census on Ancestry.com. I found several individuals of interest, including a Permelia Grovesteen (abt 1814, New York) married to Jeremiah, residing in Union Vale, Dutchess, NY — consistent with the name ambiguity noted above.
