"The ancestry of Phoebe Tilton, 1775-1847" p 231 [1] says of Abigail "that she is not mentioned in the will of her father in 1686 makes her suggested marriage to Benjamin Knight, with no date given, very questionable." However, Henry's will does in fact mention her: "and to my daughter Abigail I give £60 to be paid by my executor after her marriage..." [2]
