Mentioned seventh in list of children in father's inventory
Abigail Andrews, b. (???); probably m. June 30, 1706, Joel Parmalee of Guilford, CT., b. 1679, son of John Parmalee Jr. He removed to Durham CT., about 1699, and died there July, 1748. "Family Histories and Pedigrees, " by E.E. Salisbury, says that the wife of Joel Parmalee was "Abigail Andrews, b. 1667, probably dau. of Nathan Andrews of New Haven." (Family of Parmalee, "p. 225) But this is incredible. Abigail , daughter of Nathan, was born March 20, 1667, and so, if the wife of Joel Parmalee, must have been married to him when thirty-nine years of age, and yet have borne ot him ten children, the last when she was fifty-seven years old! His wife was probably the youngest daughter of Thomas Andrews and Hannah Kirby. For a third Abigail Andrews cannot be found, and it is known that the widow of Thomas Andrews m (2) Alexander Rollo in 1693, and removed immediately to Haddam, which is the adjoining town to Durham, CT.
