Torrey, Clarence Almon. New England Marriages Prior to 1700. (1963), page 1. 'ABBEY, John2 (-1700) & 2/wf Hannah [KILLAM?] GOLDSMITH?, wid, m/3 Jonathan JENNINGS; b 1683?; Wenham/Windham, CT'

Torrey is uncertain of her name, but suggests that her maiden name was Killam and her previous married name Goldsmith. Many have identified her with Hannah Goldsmith, daughter of Richard Goldsmith, born in Wenham 5 Mar 1657, but she was a widow with children when she married John Abbe.

In 1639-40 the town of Hartford, Conn. voted "that Nicholas Jennings come unto the towne in a certain tyme lymited and to take up his habitation heer, or else his lotts to return unto the townes handes, paying him for the worth of the labour done upon it". He left Hartford between 1650 and 1660. In the administration of his estate 16 Oct. 1673 he is called "sometime of Saybrook".
