HASKEL, Joseph, Dea., and Abagel Emerson of Ipswich, int. June 1, 1745.
↑ It is not clear who Abigail is. Her and her husband had one child, Lucy. As that child was not named Abigail, it has been (naively?) assumed she was a widow who already had children.
Receipt shows she was widow of Joseph Emerson of Ipswich and Lyme, CT. [1]
