- ↑ Source:Pierce, Frederick Clifton. Foster Genealogy, p. 298, says Abigail "d.s.p." without showing any marriage or death date. It is hard to know how Pierce determined this since he mentions no probate or deeds, and none are found. So, given his poor reputation for accuracy, it has been presumed that he is wrong, and Abigail is the person who married John Whitney, her birthdate matching the age at death, and her children including an "Abraham Willard Whitney". Abigail's sister Lucinda married in Warwick as well. (Note: it may be that Pierce did not use "d.s.p." in the conventional way ("descessit sine prole", i.e., died without issue) since he shows sister Lucinda (and other people in his book) as "d.s.p." while listing their children. What possible meaning he had for it, however, has escaped notice so far. As indicated, there is no indication, given or found, of how he could have determined this to be true of Abigial, and as it appears false, that certainly would explain the apparent discrepancy.)
