Family talk:Samuel Bickford and Abigail Cook (1)

Wrong wife [25 April 2023]

With addition of daughter Rebecca b. 1780 (see Vol. 1, p. 355), it is clear Abigail Cook b. 1765 is not the mother due to age, and she was removed. In addition to this consideration, no sources or date were provided to show that there is actually any evidence that this marriage is correct. The Abigail Cook that was previously linked is identified as the wife of Lemuel Scott by a respected genealogist, Source:Holman, Mary Lovering. Scott Genealogy, p. 36, and Source:Bassett, William. History of the Town of Richmond, Cheshire County, New Hampshire : From Its First Settlement, to 1882, p. 375, and that marriage is documented by a marriage record. Samuel Bickford's wife is "Abigail ---" in the History of Durham, and "Abigail (Page?)" in an article in the Granite Monthly. --Jrich 02:52, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
