  • Notes 
    • I am making an assumption that the Richard Fenner who married Abigail Sheldon is the same individual as Richard Fenner, son of Thomas.

      Richard's will, dated 8 Sept 1772, mentions his wife Abigail, and children Richard, Jeremiah, John, Arthur, & Lydia.

      It is not known whether any of the children were by his second wife, also named Abigail.
