I can give you some data on Noah Ballou: Noah was the son of Nathaniel and Mary (Lovett) Ballou. He was born in Wrentham,(now Cumberland,RI) Ma. on 31 Aug 1728. Noah married 1st Abigail Razee (daughter of Joseph) on 17 Oct 1750 at Cumberland R.I. Arnold's Vol. 3, Part 5, pp. 9 and 54.They had 11 children. Abigail died 10 Sep 1794 ae 69. (Also, The Ballous in America, pp 85 and 86.) They werre married by Job Bartlett, J.P. Noah married (2) Mrs. Abigail Cook ,widow of Daniel Cook of West Wrentham, Ma. on 7 July 1796. Arnold's V.R. of Rhode island Vol. 3, part 5, pp 10 and 24. Her maiden name was Blackmore (according to the Ballou Genealogy). They were married by Abner Ballou. No issue. In the Ballou Burying Ground, the inscription reads:" " In memory of Noah Ballou, who died March 20, 1807, in the 79th year of his age. He had been a member of the Baptist Church 39 years. His 2d wife and widow d. Sept. 18, 1808, aged 65 years." These are dates from Cumberland records, but the dates don't jibe with what I have seen on your emails. Do we have Daniel Cooks mixed up? Norma
