Biography

Uncertain Origins

There is no direct evidence that Abiah/Abial, wife of Benjamin Albee was a Wheelock. Both Clarence Torrey in New England Marriages prior to 1700[1] and Roberts in Ancestors of American Presidents[2] only give a first name with no additional information. The marriage seems to have been inferred by the birth records of the children. There is disagreement among family researchers whether Abial, the wife of Benjamin Albee is Abiel Wheelock. There is a marriage of Abiah Wheelock to Joseph Ward 5 Jun 1700 in Marlborough, Massachusetts.[3] As the two marriages are contemporaneous, its clear that there are different Abials. However, there is no direct evidence confirming that Abiah (Wheelock) Ward was the daughter of Benjamin Wheelock and Elizabethe Bullen. Evidence pointing to their daughter marrying Benjamin Albee: Benjamin lived next to Abiel's brother Obadiah; one of their children was named Obadiah; and they had a great-great-grandchild named Obadiah Wheelock Albee. [For more explanation see, Wheelock Genealogy website.

Maternal descendants of Abiel, wife of Benjamin Albee, and Elizabeth Bullen who would be willing to donate maternal DNA, could help resolve this question. (If you know of maternal descendants, please contact M Cole).

Marriage

About 1692-1694[4] in Mendon, Worcester, Massachusetts[citation needed]

Children (born in Mendon):

Benjamin Albee Lydia Albeel Abial Albee Obediah Albee Ebenezer Albee Sarah Albee Joseph Albee James Albee Eleazer Albee

Research notes

Some sources list her date of death as 30 Jun 1717. This is the same date as the death of Joseph Ward, the other possible husband of Abiel Wheelock. Since several of Abiel's children were born after this date, it is assumed that Joseph's date of death was accidentally transferred to Abiel, unless additional evidence is found.
