• Notes

  Abigail Whiting was under the guardianship of her uncle, Benjamin Whiting, of Sherborn April 10, 1718 when she was at the age of nine years. __________ Cheryl Hall, Sept. 2017: According to birth records, Abigail was born on 22 May 1708 in Wrentham, Norfolk, Massachusetts to Josiah Whitney and his wife, Mary. Mary's surname has not been discovered, but there are a couple of spotty marriage records for Josiah Whitney and Mary. One record not giving a marriage date but a date of 1666 for her birth; the other giving a marriage date of 1686. It was after Mary died (and I believe I've found what could be her death record) that Josiah married second to Abigail Marten, so I think it is correct that Mary is Abigail's mother, not Abigail Marten. If the death record is her's, Mary Whitney died in Wrentham on 18 July 1710. Josiah married Abigail Marten on 3 Nov 1713 in Wrentham, so that would have been too late for Abigail Marten to have been Abigail Whitney's mother. Unfortunately, a death date for Abigail (Whitney) Hall has not been found nor the burial location for her and Preserved. I presume that they are both buried in Hallowell, Maine.
