"Richard Edgerton died not long after his wife – on April 24, 1779, presumably at West Simsbury. Although there is no extant gravestone, Richard’s name is found in the burial records of the North Canton Cemetery, the entry reading: 'The 87th Mr Richard Edgeton [sic] who died Aprill the 24: 1779 aged 78 years' (see 'North Canton Cemetery Inscriptions, 1754 – 1855'; The Connecticut Historical Society Bulletin; Vol. 29, No. 2; April 1964; p. 62). There is no probate found for Richard’s estate. He had previously sold his land in West Simsbury 'on the west side of the river' to his son, Jonathan, and grandson, Jedidiah, on March 6, 1778 for a sum of 500 pounds (Simsbury LR 12:253)."
