Abiah M Kenaston was born on 23 April 1842 in Irasburg, Orleans, Vermont, United States, daughter of Noah Kenaston (1805–1889) and Mary Jane Dodge (1809–1885).[1]
Abiah and Edward Payson Cogswell were married on 9 November 1861 in Manchester, Hillsborough, New Hampshire.[2] Their son Frank Edward Cogswell was born some time between 1862 and September 1875,[3] when Abiah and Edward were divorced.[4]
Abiah and Charles Ervin Page were married after his first wife died in December 1877, presumably in New Hampshire. They were certainly married by 1880, when they were living in Manchester. The only children listed in the household were Walter and [[Fred, who were her stepsons.[5]
Abiah died on 30 October 1891 in Manchester, Hillsborough, New Hampshire, United States, aged 49. She was buried in Pine Grove Cemetery, Manchester, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire.[1][6][7]
