When Maria Norcott was married, her Thompsonville, Enfield Connecticut, First Congregational Church would have been in a different building. For most of her married life in Enfield, she would have attended church in the third meeting house of the First Ecclesiastical Society, used as a church from 1775-1848. Needing much more space, the Society built its fourth meeting house, the church pictured at the right, dedicated in 1850, and Maria's funeral would have been from this new church. The building used as the third meeting house of the First Ecclesiastical Society still exists today. After discontinuing its use as a church, Orrin Thompson (see the memorial for Robert Morrison Abbe) provided funding to use it as a town hall. In 1923 it had outlived its use as a town hall, and became a community center. Then in 1972 it was adapted for use by the Enfield Historical Society, and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Maria Abbe was buried in the Enfield Street Cemetery next to the graves of her children who had predeceased her, and her husband, who would be buried by her side many years later.
