• 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.
