Person talk:Abigail Wood (26)

Corrections [3 October 2021]

There is an Abigail Woods born in Roxbury 22 Aug 1715 (VRs, p. 1:391. Her parents are Richard and Hannah and she died 23 Jan 1715-16 (VRs, p. 2:676). So clearly that is not the Abigail Wood that married Jonathan Wright.

The Abigail Wood that married Jonathan Wright is the daughter of Benjamin Wood of Dracutt. Both her and her husband are found in his probate. Based on her age at death (in New Hampshire, not Dracut as posted), she was born about 1716, which plus age 63 gives death 1779. However, she has a brother Benjamin born 11 Nov 1716 with no sign that he is a twin, although that is a remote possibility, so one would guess the age at death might be off by a year or two. Since Benjamin's death is so late in 1716, it seems like 1718 is a likely year of birth. --Jrich 16:53, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
