Abigail was born in Elizabethtown, NJ, daughter of Isaac and Susanna (----) Whitehead.[1]
She married John Harriman (1674-1730). They had children:[2]
David, attending Yale in 1711
Hannah, married John Hendrick
Abigail, married John Clark
John Harriman's will (dated 17 Feb. 1730, proved 22 Mar. 1730) mentions daughters and their children, but not David, and not wife so she presumably predeceased.[3]
There appears to be no evidence for a previously noted marriage to Joseph Harriman, poss. brother of John.
Abigail Whitehead was born at Elizabeth, New Jersey Colony. She was the daughter of Isaac Whitehead and Mary Brown.
Abigail married John Harriman in 1708. She was the mother of eight children. She died at Rockaway, New Jersey Colony.
