  • Notes 
    • GARDINER Abigail, wife of William, of Boston Neck, bapt. at her sister Mumford's in Groton, CT, Nov. 2, 1731

      The will of Abigail Almy, maiden name Remington, widow of Job Almy and previously widow of William Gardiner, was written 3 Apr 1762, and proved 11 Apr 1763 at South Kingstown, RI. The will was witnessed by Mary Chappell, Robert Stoddard, & Francis Willett. Abigail was the mother of Hannah (Gardiner) MacSparran, wife of Rev. James. (source note: RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 2, No. 3, p. 157)

      The will mentions sons John & Sylvester Gardner, daughter Abigail Robinson, and the following grandchildren: Josiah Arnold, Anstis Robinson, Abigail Updike, Abigail Stewart, & Mary Dockray.

      The date of 6 Mar 1763 is given for Abigail's death in some genealogies, but according to Jane Fletcher Fiske in "The Abigail Connection," that date of death belongs to another Abigail who married John Carr.
