  1. Source:Gale, George. Genealogy of the Gale Family, p. 1n: "Abigail Gale, who died Sept. 5, 1718, aged 76, was probably either a daughter, or a second wife and widow of Richard. If a daughter, she is not mentioned in her father's will." She is listed in Source:Bond, Henry. Family Memorials. Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, Including Waltham and Weston (1855) with a question mark. The lack of confirming records (such as death record of first wife or marriage record if Abigail is a widow, or birth record or mention in the will if she is a daughter, shows how speculative this statement is. The fact that Source:Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States. Watertown Records, p. 2:65, shows no death record for Abigail, only "Abraham Gael Deced the, 15 of September 1718", further suggests Abigail is probably the result of an erroneous reading of the records.
