↑ Benjamin Melvin of Winchester named the children born of the body of his daughter "Sara Hammond" in his will dated 1784. This language suggests she was already deceased, and probably that her husband had additional children by another wife, or at least, had remarried and could have had more children. This makes it unlikely Abel's wife was Sarah Melvin even though their ages match well.
