Many compilers give her birth date as 12 Jan 1672 (1671/2). However, the Abigail Allen who was born in Lancaster 12 Jan 1672 (1672/3) was the daughter of Benjamin and Mary Allen, according to the transcription of Lancaster records in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 16(1862):359.

1672 does not fit well with the birth dates of her children - she would have been 50 at the birth of her youngest. Instead, she may have been Daniel and Mary's youngest child, rather than born before Thomas (b. 1670), as implied by Savage, or before Ebenezer (b. 1674), as implied by Bent. A reasonable estimate for her birth year is 1682 - halfway in between the birth of her mother (in 1642) and the birth of her youngest child (in 1722), making her 21 at marriage.
