Biography

http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~teschek/genealogy/wallingford/i00000...

97. Abigail4 Wallingford (Col. Thomas3, John2, Nicholas1) was born in Dover, New Hampshire 30 September 1726.(967) Abigail died prob. 7 April 1756, in Rowley, Essex County, Massachusetts. The wife of Edward Sanders Jr. died on that date, and in the Rowley birth records of their children, her husband is referred to as Edward Jr.(968) Their last child was born a little more than a week earlier, on March 29th, so it can be supposed that she died from complications of child birth. She was deceased when her father's estate was divided amongst his widow and children on 10 September 1772.(969)

She married Edward Saunders, about 1746, probably in Dover, New Hampshire.(970) Thomas Gage, Town Clerk of Rowley, writes in the original record, "Edward Saunders the 2nd above named was probably married to Abigail Wallingford in the town of Dover or Somesworth in the county of Strafford and State of New Hampshire, soon after his marriage moved his wife to Rowley."

Edward was born 13 March 1717, in Rowley, Essex County, Massachusetts.(971) Edward was the son of Edward Saunders and Elizabeth Gage.
