Biography
Abigail, daughter of Isaac and Deborah Howe, born 4 February 1691-2. Howe Genealogies says Abigail likely was the Abigail How that married James Davis of Marblehead 7 Dec. 1720. [1]
Savage indicates that Abigail and brother Abraham were born in "R." which suggests Roxbury. [2]
Research Notes
Ipswich handwritten church records record "James Davis, Abigail How published the 12th day of Nov 1720." Ancestry records this as a marriage, although it is clearly intentions. James is from Marblehead.
Marblehead handwritten church record lists Dec 7, 1720 marriage of James Davis and Abigail How. [3]
In later printed extracts on Ancestry, the month is illegible and it was variously transcribed as Xbr 7 and April 7, 1720 in different Ancestry records.
