    Agreement of heirs of Samuel Welles, dated 11 Mar 1728-9, names Thomas Turney and Abigail his wife.

  2. The birth of Abigail is not recorded in Stratford, unlike brother Samuel's. It seems suspicious that her birth is 2 years to the day after Samuel's birth, as if somebody misread Samuel's birthdate in 1686 as 1688.
  3. No death date for Abigail Turney is found in 1795. The year seems unlikely, as it would make her 107 - if the birth date is correct, and given that this date was posted without any indication of a marriage, one must suspect the quality of research.
