s/o Benjamin Blodgett and Sally Greenleaf

h/o Rosannah Utley
Marriage: 5/9/1827
Boston, Mass

h/o Abigail Bayley
Marriage: 6/29/1871
Stannard, Vt

Based on the piece in the newspaper below it is assumed that
burial was with his wife and sons in Stannard. However, there
was or is no longer present a stone.

Orleans County monitor. (Barton, Vt.), 09 April 1888. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress.
STANNARD
Joseph Blodgett died March 26. aged
85 years. Mr. Blodgett moved to Stan
nard from N. H. about 58 years ago.

There are actually 2 death records for Joseph. One filed in
Stannard, VT, the other in Newfane, Vermont. They both contain
similar data. The Newfane death record for Joseph notes the
cause of his death as "old age" and also noting he lived for
85 years, 4 months, 8 days. If this record of his age is accurate,
then we can calculate his date of birth as January 19, 1804.
I believe the death record for Newfane was generated due to
the fact that he had resided there briefly before his 1871 marriage
to Abigail Bayley in Stannard. His and Abigails marriage record
and census records strongly suggest that Joseph resided in
Stannard at the time of his death.
