Abigail Temple

Some confusion between Abigails: Abigail Merriam, Abigail Stone, Abigail Waite. This Abigail, whoever her parents, married Benjamin Temple at age 21 and lived to be 77 years old. She was not married to a man named Stone.

There is an Abigail Stone, daughter of another Watertown family, who needs to be placed. She apparently married John Cutler.
