Biography

There is very little information about Abigail Goodale and her putative marriage to Ebenezer Abbé. Most of it comes from Public Trees on Ancestry.com and little appears to be based on historical records. Where historical records do exist it is not clear precisely to whom they refer in some cases.

^[1] observes that she was born on the 3rd July 1714, for which there exists an historical record. That site however goes on to say:

From the book published in 1916 "Abbe -Abbey Genealogy In Memory of John Abbe and his Descendants" by Cleveland Abbe and Joseph Genung Nichols^[2]

EBENEZER ABBE, JR., son of Ebenezer and Mary (Allen) Abbe, born July 27, 1708; resided in Windham or North Windham, Conn.

Married February 22, 1729-30, ABIGAIL CARY, probably daughter of Joseph Cary, jr.

One account gives her name Abigail Soale and still another says she was Abigail Goodale, daughter of Isaac Goodale of Salem.

It is apparent from the historical record that her father was not Isaac Goodale but David Goodale.

Children of Abigail and Ebenezer

Children, baptized at Windham^[14]

WikiTree links added but this confuses the issue slightly as these children are attributed to Abigial Cary, who may be Abigail Goodale, and one to Abigail Savage who also may be Abigail Goodale.

2	Isaac Abbe	b. July 25, 1733; m. Eunice Church.

Death

Alternatively Abigail died on the 6th March, 1797 at Salem Village, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.^[16]

Notes

Note on wife's name: Abigail Cary is listed as the wife of Ebenezer Abbe JR. although some records list other names. Ebenezer was only married ONCE so for convention I'm using Abigail Cary as that is how its listed in the genealogy book.

Note: This identification is almost certainly wrong. Research needs to be done to prove the LNAB of the wife of Ebenezer Abbe jr.
