Some of this sites Ira Coray Info is wrong... IRA's parents were Edmond Austin Abbott and Nancy Gregory - this info according to his bio-sketch to which he contributed, which appears in the 1882 publication: THE HISTORY of WALWORTH COUNTY, Wisconsin, where he lived from 1878-1885.... He was born in Burns, Allegany County, New York...not in Michigan...He, of course, moved to St. Joseph County (White Pigeon Community, Michigan with his parents in 1835...He first married in 1850 a Roxanna Brown of Elkhart, Indiana - they had a daughter, Harriet Emma in 1851..Roxanna died in 1852, he went back to Burr Oak, Michigan that year; was appointed Justice of the Peace there......then later Electa Araminta Shear of Phelps, Ontario, New York (May 19, 1857)..they had 3 children: Charles E. (1858), William C. in 1860, then Carrie P. All were born in Burr Oak.

Colonel Ira C. Abbott died in Washington, DC, not Lynn, Massachusetts. He and his wife Electa A. Abbott, nee Shear are buried in Arlington National Cemetery...as the picture of his grave stone, which you show, indicates.
