birth date of 27 Jun 1658. This would make her 36 when she got married

and 41 when her daughter was born??? Another source says she is the daughter of

Israel with a birth date of 2 Jan 1678/1679 in Woburn, but History of

Woburn shows daughter Rebecca b 1678 in Woburn and does not show Abigail. This

is possible but not likely to have 2 children both born in the same

year.
