Biography
Abi (Abigail) married William Cushman and had a large number of children.
Research notes
The Mayflower book gives the dates of birth and death above, but this birth would make her rather young, and there is not a good source for these claims. Some have suggested parents for her which provide a different birth date (for example, identifying her with this Abigail), but so far as I can see without proof. Thus, I have marked the birth as uncertain.

I know Abi Parker is listed as William Cushman's wife in the Mayflower book, but it's always bothered me that this would make her 14 when she married and 15 when she had her first child, and I've never been able to find a source for their information. Does anyone know more?

I removed Aaron Parker and Sarah Martin as parents since for reasons I posted on Aaron's page I don't see how they could be correct. So she now has no parents.
