    This article, building on an earlier one in TAG that identifies the first wife of Samuel Dibble as a daughter of William Graves, presents evidence that her name was Abigail, and that she died in Stamford, CT in 1666/7, between Jan 20 'when her husband was comforting her in her suffering' and Jan 30 'when depositions commenced'. She died shortly after the birth of her daughter Abigail on Jan 19 1666/7 in Stamford ('not in Windsor where her birth is recorded'). The article speculates, based on the description of her suffering presented in the depositions, that she died of eclampsia.
