Some sources (e.g., Source:Cutter, William Richard. Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts, p. 2:993) suggest Joseph and Sarah had a daughter Abigail, born sometime between 1665 and 1669, who m. 1686 Joseph Gleason. However, she would have been over 20 years younger than her husband, and "old and cripped" in 1717 at the age of only abt. 50? There is no documentary evidence that Joseph had a daughter Abigail. Joseph died intestate, so there is no will to name his daughter, though it is possible other probate documents may be helpful. See a more in-depth discussion at Person talk:Abigail Garfield (1).
