  • Notes 
    • 1. Abigail's maiden name was not know by Anna Wildey as stated in her book: " A lineal descendant of this marriage, Capt. Alex S. Palmer who died in 1894, had not been able to find her maiden name."

      From Vol. 1, page 342 of THE GREAT MIGRATION BEGINS:

      "Many secondary sources give the bride's surname as Ingraham, but the evidence for this is not seen. The only Ingraham
      family to which she could belong is that of Richard Ingraham of Rehoboth. He is of the right age and in the right place to
      be father of Samuel's wife, but this Ingraham family is very poorly defined, and only sons are known for certain
      (TAG 19:78, 21:190-91, 22:60-61)."
