  • Name Statira MEIGS  [2, 3
    • There appears to be no record of Statira having been buried in this cemetery (or elsewhere). However, her husband, Elihu Bartlit, was buried here and Statira died shortly after he died. Her parents were also buried in this cemetery, as were numerous other relatives.

      According to Biographical Sketches of the Graduates of Yale College, Statira was the third daughter of Timothy Meigs (A.M., Yale College, 1732) and she died "in her 37th year." She appears to have died within 2-6 weeks after her husband, Elihu Bartlit. Statira's sister, Hannah Meigs, married Samuel Bartlett, her husband's brother.

      Statira's immigrant ancestors have been said to trace back to Vincent Meggs, appearing in records located among the Bishop's Transcripts of the parish of Chardstock, Dorset, from 1579 through 1641. There were baptism records for three children of Vincent and wife, Emma, or Em, and mention of Vincent in records of Axminster, Devon, England.
