  • Notes 
    • Abigail's parents were "of Haverhill, MA."

      She was the widow of John Remington when she married Henry Gardner (see notes for Henry!).

      The Rev. Dr. MacSparran in his diary (Sept 30th and Oct 4th 1744) speaks of the death of his wife's grandmother, at the great age of eighty-eight years.

      If Abigail was the daughter of Edward's second wife, Abigail, she must have been born after Edward who was born in 1658, son of Amey.
