Notes for Abigail WILLISTON

A marriage was not located for Daniel and Abigail, undoubtedly it is lurking out there somewhere, perhaps performed by one of the circuit ministers who transported it back to his home church for recording. However, they were without a doubt, married and raised their family at Loggieville then known as Black Brook, until moving to Ontario after their son Joseph made his move there in the mid 1850's
