Mary M Atherton
AE 33 yrs
This coffin plate for Mary M Atherton was found in New England. From the shape of this Coffin Plate we can tell it was most likley made in the 1850s 60s or 70s. The ingraved flowers would sugest the 1860s. This tells us that Mary M Atherton was most likly born in the 1820s or 1830s.
I went and had a hunt for Mary M Atherton in the 1860 United States Federal Census on Ancestry.com. I found several individuals of interest as you can see below.

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.
