Abigail was born on 8 Aug 1704 in Rowley, Essex, Massachusetts, USA [NEHGR of 1904, Vol 58, Page 269 Descendants of Richard Clarke]. She is no doubt the widow Abigail Woodbury of Landcaster who had marriage intentions with Joseph Gibbs of Westminster 6 May 1745 [Lancaster - V1 PAGE : 31: Joseph Gibbs of a new township Called Narriganset No 2 Entered His Intensions of marriage with Abigail Woodbury of Lancaster May ye 6th. 1745.
