Biography

Many secondary sources list John Donnell’s daughter Abigail as the wife of Joseph Young, however, I have been unable to find any primary source to confirm this. Joseph did have a wife Abigail and they would have been married about 1697 so if this Abigail was the daughter of John then she would have had to have been the child of an earlier marriage, not the daughter of Hannah Milbury as stated by several authors. My guess is that Abigail Young’s maiden name was guessed at, as the only unattached Abigail in York at the time would have been the daughter of John Donnell. Too bad John didn’t list the married names of his daughters in his will! Also, looking at Joseph’s land transactions I can’t see where he had any dealings with the Donnell family and didn’t receive any property through his wife Abigail. So, a question mark remains next to Abigail.
