A large thank you to B L Larson for providing great documentation.

Although I believe that Paulk Progeny generally has few errors the book seems to be in disagreement with Connecticut public regarding Abiah (Gillette)Slafter.

There is a lot written in Paulk Progeny regarding Abiah's first husband, Isaiah Bartlett. "Paulk Progeny" by Denzel "Dee" Mathews 1990 - used to have online links to read this entire book but now it only seems to be available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT and The Library of Congress:* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Aug 31 2022, 7:06:33 UTC
