Research Notes
Nathan, and not Nathaniel, is listed as the father for Elizabeth Abbot in both Massachusetts death records for Elizabeth. He also appears in Danvers, Massachusetts Vital Records before 1850 for some of the children listed.[5]
Margaret/t and Nathan both died in Billerica. The age marked on his gravestone would lead one to logical conclude he could be the son of Asa and Elizabeth Abbot. That would be a closer match with respect to his age at death in Billerica; however, does conflict with other sources.
