This Benjamin profile has three different Abigails as daughters (along with two Moses'). I've detached one. Any idea who belongs with whom? Also wondering the source for this Benjamin's wife being a Varney.
Upon looking further, I think all of the attached children that were born in Maine belong to a different Benjamin Austin. I'm not sure if he already has a profile...
Thanks, Darlene
