    Notes:

    The name of Abigail's second husband came from Barbara Chase.

    On Boyd Scott Remington's chart, Christopher Ralph Colvin is also identified as husband of Alta Mary Remington. He may be the same individual. Could "Alta Mary Remington" really be Abigail (Knight) Remington? This needs more resarch.
