    [Note: this death date is obviously impossible, being nearly 100 years after marriage (i.e., not birth, so implying age approaching 120 at death). That does not prevent it from being repeated in various secondary sources. The actual death in Groton in 1822 is another Abigail Houghton, mother of Joel, i.e., Abigail Garfield, wife of Cornelius Houghton.]
