Biography
Abigail is the oldest child of Edward and Abigail. If she was born about 1665 then she was born while her parents were still in Branford, Connecticut. They did not move to New Jersey until 1667 (Maerz' work corroborates this, but she suggests the mythical Bedford, Connecticut as her birth place).
research notes
No definitive birth date was found for Abigail but many family trees list it as 1669.
