Sanborn-480 and Sanborn-106 appear to represent the same person because: Both were born in Hampton and married to John Whidden on March 26, 1734 and have children named the same

I see this info comes from Ancestry and don't much trust their user submitted trees. If you have a source citation that shows a marriage between Abigail Sanborn and a Merrill, I'll carefully consider this new info. As it is my previous comment stands as have never seen info linking her to Merrill up until now. Ray CC: Chris Whitten

Sanborn-106 and Sanborn-718 do not represent the same person because: Abigail (Sanborn) Whidden [Sanborn-718] is not known to have married a Merrill.
