Biography
Researchers of the Johnson Family to date have failed to document the family name of Abigail and have reported it as 'unknown.' However, it seems reasonable to assume that this Abigail was probably the daughter of Abigail (Stanfield) May and Samuel May. No record so far has been found to establish that Abigail married anyone else. She was born May 22, 1666 (Roxbury Births, page 229). She would have been 12 years of age when her widowed mother Abigail married Humphrey Johnson as his second wife and would have been brought into close association with Nathaniel as a stepsister. Her father, Samuel May and Abigail Stanfield were married at Roxbury January 7, 1657. She had a brother Jonothon who was born February 4, 1663/64 and another brother, John who was born June 1 2, 1670.
