'Abraham ([son of] Jacob, [son of] Reginald) was born in Ipswich, 4 Dec. 1667, where he died 25 Dec. 1720-1. Administration on his estate was granted to his widow, 27 Jan. 1720-1. He was a carpenter. His wife was Abigail --------.'

Children of Jeffrey Parsons and Sarah Vinson: Abigial, m. 2 Jul 1699 Abraham Foster.
↑ This marriage date (2 Jul 1699) is repeated in many sources (e.g., Source:Pierce, Frederick Clifton. Foster Genealogy, p. 137; Source:Torrey, Clarence Almon. New England Marriages Prior to 1700), but not found in VRs of Ipswich or Gloucester, so the basis of this date is unknown. The father died before 1699 so his probate is unaware of any marriage, his daughter getting £10 (i.e., no land). If Babson is correct, the wife is Person:Abigail Parsons (16).
