  9. ↑ Barber and Delorey give an estimated birth date of 1639. Based on court records,S3 as well as stated age at time of death,S4 Abigail was more likely b. ca 1640-42. As with other estimated birth dates based on reported ages, Abigail seemed to age differentially depending on her stage in life, being older in the early and late years of her life than in her middle years.
