"2. Abraham2 Kimberly {Thomas1), … married Hannah [perhaps Preston, daughter of William and Mary (_____) Preston], who died before 21 Oct. 1701, having married second, John Curtis, … son of Sergt. John and Elizabeth (_____) Curtis.
The name of the mother of the two children of Abraham recorded in New Haven is not stated. In view of the long gap between these two children and the later three recorded at Stratford, it is possible that they were by a former wife who died. However, Hannah is the only wife who appears of record, and since the elder of the two girls born in New Haven was named Hannah, there is no reason to doubt that Hannah was mother of all the children.
The three younger children entered in Stratford records were stated to have been born in Albemarle County, Carolina. Abraham must have been living there in 1672 when his father made his will, and the will suggests a lack of confidence in Abraham's ability or sense of responsibility, since the residue of the estate was left to Abraham's wife Hannah for her daughter Mary. It also is to be deduced that the older children had died and that only Mary was then living; Sarah and Abraham were born after the will was made. There was no daughter Abigail (born 1670, married Ebenezer Blackman) as stated in Orcutt's History of Stratford and repeated in some other printed sources. No such birth is recorded; Ebenezer Blackman married Abigail Curtis, not Kimberly; and the settlement in the deeds … implies that no children of Abraham and Hannah were living in 1701 except Mary, Sarah and Abraham. … It is certain that Hannah returned to Stratford with the children and had their births entered there, probably because they would be the chief heirs of their grandfather Kimberly."
