Alice & Jean, I see now that I had the marriage, "Cook Daniel, Jr., of Wrentham, Mass., son of Daniel, and Abigail Blackmar, of Glocester; m. by Nathaniel Cook, Jr., Justice, May 25, 1769." from Arnold's Vital Record of Rhode Island, vol. 3, pp. 9 & 13, VR 1-52, Glocester Marriages. So it appears that Abigail Blackmar was Daniel's 2nd wife, and that his first wife was also named Abigail. All of the children's births are listed as those of Daniel Jr. and Abigail. And there is the death of Abigail Cook 29 Jan 1767 in Wrentham. I see that there is a gap in the birth dates of Daniel's children between 1765 and 1770, so this does make sense. But I haven't found anything on Daniel's first wife or anything on Abigail's 2nd marriage to Noah Ballou.
