Research Notes

Marriage and Gillette sources do not state who Abigail's parents were.

This profile is confused frequently as follows:

• Abigail Austin, dau of Uriah Austin and Abigail Case, married Samuel Hale in Suffield, Connecticut, died in Suffield, Connecticut. Hale sources state Abigail's parents when she married Samuel Hale and had 9 children in Connecticut,
• This Abigail married Benjamin Gillete, has Gillette children, death in New York. Gillett Source states they were in New York with children.
• Find A Grave: Memorial #69453568 has Abigail's parents as Uriah and Abigail, but has Benjamin Gillett as husband with death in New York, so it seems to be a 'conflation' of the profiles. Parents information should probably be removed from Grave page since that is the 'other' Abigail Austin.
