Research Note
LNAB is spelled 'Jennison' in the image for her baptismal record.[13]
Baldwin writes that Abigail Jemison [sic] was the daughter of the Honorable Henry Jemison [sic], Judge of the Court of Common Pleas In Worcester, Massachusetts. [15]This is in contrast to the father listed for this profile. There is no "Henry Jemison" listed in WikiTree profiles.
Find-A-Grave lists parents as Judge William and Elizabeth (Golding) Jennison of Watertown, Massachusetts (with Biographies).
