BANISTER, Abigail and Thomas Wood, Jr., Dec. 6, 1770.
↑ There is no probate found for Abigail's father, so no obvious clue to who she married. There are two marriages in Brookfield that could be her: 1770 to Thomas Wood, and 1771 to Jonathan Nutting. The age at death of Jonathan Nutting's wife (d. 1835 89th year, born 1746 or so, see Find A Grave), making her probably d/o Thomas and Marcy (no probate found for Thomas Banister). The will of Thomas Wood in 1806 (Worcester Probate 67333) names as executors his wife Abigail and Liberty Banister of Brookfield. Liberty Banister was the nephew of the Abigail who was d/o Seth, being son of Seth's son Seth, though no relationship is even mentioned in the probate file. The probate of Abigail in 1836 (Worcester Probate 66781) grants administration to Liberty Banister. For this reason, it seems probable it was the d/o Seth b. 1744 that married Thomas Wood and died his widow in Aug 1836.
