    "The second marriage is wrong. Abigail Wolcott, born in 1707, was the wife of Capt. Abraham4 Watrous, for whom she was suitable in age, as he was born in 1700, and was commissioned Captain in 1741. The second wife of Abraham3 was indeed an Abigail, but she was Abigail (Filer) Deming, born in Suffield in 1683, but of Windsor when she married her first husband, Jonathan Deming of Wethersfield in 1708/9. Deming died in 1727 and she remained a widow for some years before marrying Watrous; after the latter's death she returned to a Deming son in Wethersfield and died there 24 Dec. 1754. These connections can be worked out from the printed histories of Wethersfield and Windsor, as well as from original sources."
