Marriage

"On 22 November 1739 Abigail, dau. Nathaniel, in the North Purchase in Woodbury, m. Peter Welton, s. George, of Waterbury." Barbour Collection of Waterbury Vital Records: "On 22 November 1739 Abigail, dau. Nathaniel, in the North Purchase in Woodbury, m. Peter Welton." Peter Welton purchased land in Woodbury on June 21, 1760, a deed in which Abigail's siblings are named

Note

BIRTH: Barbour Collection of Farmington Vital Records, F.H.L. book 974.6 V2wl, V. 12, p. 309. listed as "Abigail, daughter of Nathaniel."

CHURCH RECORDS: "Abigail Porter admitted to the church in full communion Feb. 5, 1738." Woodbury Congregational Church records, 1670-1920, FHL film 6182, Item 1, p. 86.)

DEATH: Charles R. Hale, Collection of Vital Records from Newspaper Notices and Cemetery Inscriptions: “Abigail Welton d. Aug. 17, 1796, age 76”, citing Bridgewater Inscriptions, Cemetery 2, p. 29. Since it is known Abigail’s son-in-law Andrew Bostwick was in the New Milford Census in 1800, that he lived in the New Preston Society of New Milford in 1800 when a new schoolhouse was proposed, (History of the Towns of New Milford and Bridgewater, Connecticut, 1703-1882, By Samuel Orcutt, p. 212, Google books) and that his family came from Bridgewater, (The History of New Milford and Bridgewater, CT, History of the Towns of New Milford and Bridgewater, Connecticut, 1703-1882, By Samuel Orcutt, p. 211, Google books), it is assumed after Peter died Abigail lived with her daughter Abigail Bostwick in New Milford and died there. The only other possibility would be the Abigail Welton who died in Watertown. Nov. 10, 1776, age 60, citing Watertown Inscriptions, Cem 2?, p. 71.) If this is the right Abigail, she would have been only 57 years old at the time of her death. The Abigail in Bridgewater is exactly the right age for someone born in 1719

MARRIAGE "On 22 November 1739 Abigail, dau. Nathaniel, in the North Purchase in Woodbury, m. Peter Welton, s. George, of Waterbury." Barbour Collection of Waterbury Vital Records: "On 22 November 1739 Abigail, dau. Nathaniel, in the North Purchase in Woodbury, m. Peter Welton." Peter Welton purchased land in Woodbury on June 21, 1760, a deed in which Abigail's siblings are named

ORDINANCES: Baptism, Endowment and Sealing to parents are correct on FHL film 457858. The work was repeated on Film 962432 ref 74690, p. 561. However, in the latter record she was sealed to Nathaniel Porter of Waterbury and given the theoretical birth date of About 1718.
