    Quoting Sandra MacLean Clunies: 'Neither Torrey, nor the ABBE genealogy, nor Cutter gives the surname LORING to the wife of John ABBE. It appears in the LDS-IGI, and I have not searched its source … The maiden name LORING for the wife, Mary has been conjectured, but never proved. Most reputable sources do not list it.'

    'Her name is given as Mary Loring, by Frederick Orr Woodruff, who says that the name was found on Enfield records by one who made researches for him there.'

  6. ↑ 6.0 6.1 6.2 It is possible that her surname was Loring, as suggested in a book published in 1916, citing second-hand information (see Abbe-Abbey book mentioned in the sources). It is also possible that her surname was King, as suggested in a few IGI records. However, Torrey did not accept that her maiden name was known.
