  2. 5.  Mary Abbott was born 13 Dec 1679.

    Notes:

    Mary was the sister of Dep. Gov. Daniel Abbott, who married Mary Fenner, sister of Thomas.

    Notes:

    The Fenner Family, p. 11, says they were married in 1710. However, it also has a couple of their sons being born several years before 1710, p. 16. So, either their date of marriage is not known, or else the Fenner genealogy has some of the sons in the wrong family group. I have estimated the year of marriage.

    1. William Fenner was born Abt 1706.
    2. Thomas Fenner, III was born Abt 1708.
