Disputed Death Date

Some genealogists suggest that Abigail died young, but there is no evidence of an early death. However, there is no evidence of her living after 1635. Abigail wasn't mentioned in her father's Will dated 7 Dec 1656.[3] Robert Charles Anderson says that she must have died by the date of the Will because she wasn't mentioned.[4] It is assumed that she died before April 4, 1674, when her brother Simon is called "the only child living of Mr. John Tuttle and Joanah, his wife, who are deceased."[5]

Disputed Marriage

Also, some genealogists have concluded that Abigail married John Meader of Oyster River, NH, however the is no documentary evidence that Meador's wife Abigail was Abigail Tuttle. Others state that Meader's wife was Abigail Follett. Torrey shows: "John (?1630-1715+) & Abigail [?TUTTLE/?FOLLETT]; ca 1653; Dover, NH {Durham NH 2:92; GDMNH 473-4; Meader (ms); Dover NH Mar. 142; Sv. 3:191", indicating that Abigail could be either a Tuttle or a Follett, or neither one![6]
