Biography
Abigail Davis was born on 17 Oct 1746 in Littleton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, to Capt. Simon Davis IV (1724-1804) and Mary (Powers) Davis (1723-1806) [1].
She married Stephen Alvord in 1765 in Charlestown, New Hampshire. They had 7 children, born in Charlestown, New Hampshire [2]:
- Pathenia (Alvord; 1767-1852) [3]; married 1) Robert Denison Taylor; 2) Joseph Waller
- Abigail (Alvord; 1771-1820); married Zaccheus Ellis
- Lucy Wright (Alvord; 1774-1866); married Josiah Gibbs
- Roxana (Alvord; 1775-1859); married Benjamin Burke
- Stephen Washington Alvord (bef.1778-1823)
- Isaac Alvord (bef.1779-)
- Clemence Alvord, baptized Apr 1781; unmarried
Abigail and Stephen Alvord (possibly with portions of their family) moved to Canada sometime after 1800.
After the death of Stephen Alvord in 1812, Abigail (Davis) Alvord moved back to Vermont, where she died on 1 (probably buried on 3) Jun 1820 in Windsor, Vermont. Her grave is in Old South Church Cemetery, Windsor, Windsor County, Vermont, USA [4].
