Spouse's Identity. A previous version of this profile included a research note saying, "The case for her marrying John Richards of New London in Preston includes evidence that his father lived there a significant time, his widow remarried (elsewhere) in Connecticut, brother Amos is said to have married in Preston. The children listed clearly belong to the Preston marriage. Otherwise, it would seem there might be another Abigail Woodward."
