Bartlett gives no evidence for Abigail being a 20 year old woman marrying a man about 60, having no children, and dying 8 years later. This sounds much more like Daniel Stone married a widow. That she was indeed a widow is illustrated by Essex deed Vol. 21, folio 9 where on 13 Aug 1706, Daniel Stone and Abigail his wife sell to Josiah Wheeler a dwelling house and other buildings on 12 acres in Salisbury "formerly ye Lands and Estate of Henry Wheeler of Salisbury". The description matches the property sold to Henry's widow Abigail Wheeler of Boston in 1696 by Richard Hubbard, mentioned in Hoyt's Families of Salisbury, p. 210, and found Essex Deeds Vol. 11, folio 251. Thus Daniel Stone's second wife is Abigail (Allen) Wheeler, widow of Henry Wheeler.
Abigail Wheeler, the daughter of Abraham Wheeler, is almost certainly the Abigail Wheeler who married 1701 James Blood of Concord, of whom, Shattuck, p. 368, says "whose father was killed at Lancaster", which describes Abraham Wheeler.
