I agree with Mike Scanlon's comments from 12-30-2015; Adams-11921 and Fairbanks-504 is a promising match, but we do not have conclusive info to confirm match at this time without sources in either profile.

Adams-11921 and Fairbanks-504 are not ready to be merged because: This looks like a promising match but I don't know if we have enough info to confirm yet. I have quite a bit of info on the family tree but haven't had the time to verify its accuracy yet. (I'm fairly certain on it but just need the documentation still.) If you have time to do the research I can email you a picture of my handwritten notes including your ancestor Abigail and her sister Hannah (my ancestor).

PS Interesting side note I came across: Sarah's mother's (Hannah) mother Hannah Dwight is related to the Dwight of Arm & Hammer baking soda fame.
