. * The late D. W. Patterson said to me (Lucy Abigail Brainard) that, as Abijah Brainerd married Esther, and as there were not many Esthers at that early date, he concluded that the Esther whom Abijah married was Esther Smith. I have no proof whatever as to what her maiden name was, excepting from D. W. Patterson, and the statement made by the late D. D. Field in the Brainard Genealogy. † In a letter to the late D. D. Field it was stated that Abijah Brainerd married Thankful Williams. I have not been able to prove a former marriage of Thankful Fuller though there may have been one.
