Person:Abigail Lathrop (13)

From the abstract of her will in the sketch of Jacob³ Hazen^[2], it can be inferred that prior to her marriage to Hazen, Abigail Lothrup had been married to a man named Baker and had at least one child, Lemuel, who seems to have been her only Baker child who had living descendants at the time she made her will. One Lemuel Baker appears at Woodbury by 1741 with wife Jerusha who could well be the son of _____ Baker and Abigail Lothrup. However, no paper trail confirming that possible relationship appears.
