Research Note

Thomas W. Baldwin, Compiler, Vital Records of Wrentham, Massachusetts To the Year 1850, p161. Probable, not certain. There were many Ponds in Wrentham, but this Abigail is the only one born in Wrentham between 1700 and 1735, hence, the only marriageable Abigail in town in 1748.

Peter Jr. passed away on 24 Jan 1754 in Wrentham, Massachusetts. ^[2]
