Biography

Abigail Barlowe was born June 8, 1599, in Southampton, England.^[1]

Abigail married George Parker October 10, 1619, in Southampton.^[2][3]

Abigail's husband, George, died before May 9, 1639. He left all his goods and chattels whatsoever to her and made her sole executrix. He also left her the managing profit, etc., of all his free land given to his son Robert during his monage and until he became 21 when she would transfer it to him.^[4]

1. ↑ #Revell It looks like Revell gets this information from: Virginia's Eastern Shore -A History of Northampton and Accomack Counties by Ralph T. Whitelaw, Page 655, tract A23.
2. ↑ #Will-Parker-2518 George's will mentions "Abigail Parker", his "now wife". This lends support to a prior marriage as indicated in George's profile without source. Does this mean that Abigail is not the mother of some or all of George's children?
3. ↑ #Revell Not clear where Revell gets the last name, marriage date or place from. If the dates are correct, there is not much time for George to have been married prior to Abigail.

• #Will-Parker-2518: The abstract of the will of George Parker, of Southampton, England, dated 24 Oct 1638, proved 9 May Sep 1639 (recorded at the Archdeaconry of Winchester) was published in the article by John D. Long. It is separately referenced for clarity but is not re-produced here.
