Who are Abigail Prentice's Parents?

The identify of her parents is a mystery. An exhaustive search of our database does not show any Abigail Prentice born in, or near, 1666. Neither does it show any Abigail with a different surname who might have married a Prentice, or first married a husband before John Stratton, in that early time frame. If she has Prentice roots, Abigail might be have been born in England, Ireland or Scotland and was herself an emigrant at that time.

Or, is Abigail even a Prentice?

By email of 14 Apr 2001, Debra has provided the following additional information which raises a question whether Abigail is even a Prentice:

"I checked back into my sources to see where [the name Abigail Prentice] comes from. The Prentice surname is listed in Harriet Stratton's Book of Strattons, Vol. 1 as (Prentice?). This lady's book is like a tome for the Stratton family. The other information for the family line, vital records, etc., are well-documented and I have double-checked most of it myself, so this note was included in my database.

The name Blanchard (listed by Debra as a possible prior marriage for Abigail) occurs in another researcher's FamilyTree Maker page and I added it to help in the search. I had to look for that note!

Bottom line, there is no direct evidence that she was a Prentice at any time, so that may be the problem..."
