I finally found them in Wisconsin and with more children. All of them disappeared except Maryette. Turns out, Abigail's husband was McCloy Cox. Here is where I found it: http://freepages.military.rootsweb.com/~wirockbios/CivWar/CWVets-08...

The family fell apart by 1860 after Abigail dying in 1855. Kids were farmed out.
