This birth date and I suspect husband is not for this lineage. Medfield Vital Records shows Abigail daughter or Robert and Abigail as born 11/26/1660.

Mason-8538 and Mason-2574 appear to represent the same person because: same vitals; same spouse

I don't find any information in the source shown for either William Briggs or Abigail Mason. Do you have another source?

Her birth year is the same year as her marriage. Perhaps birth year should be 1660? Also, do you have any information on her parentage?

Given that William Briggs and Abigail Mason married in Dedham, she is likely the daughter born to John and Mary Mason, b January 6, 1660 at Dedham, Massachusetts (MA Vital Records to 1850 confirm both the birth and marriage dates although it doesn't specifically say whose daughter she is). There was another Abigail Mason born to Robert and Abigail Mason November 26, 1660 at Medfield. Are there are sources for her parentage?
