Biography
Abigail was born in 1704/5. She was the daughter of John Bullard and Abigail Warren.
Abigail married Ephraim Spaulding 12 Sep 1723 in Medfield.[1][2]
Research notes
Some trees show the wife of Ephraim Spaulding as Abigail Bullard b 1708, the daughter of John Bullard and Abigail Leland. In addition to that Abigail being only 14 at the time of the marriage, the will of John Bullard of Dedham clearly names Abigail Spaulden removing any doubt that this Abigail is the one that married Ephraim Spaulding.

Using trees as a source is not really a good idea. Using derivertive works can be iffy at best.
