Dick, I don't have all the details handy now, but I can confirm that the Abigail CLIFFORD who married Abraham SANBORN in Kingston on 6 Jan 1736/1737 was daughter of Joseph CLIFFORD by his first wife Sarah (FRENCH). Joseph Clifford died about 1724 leaving two daughters (Joanna and Abigail) from his first marriage and two sons (John and Joseph) from his second. Both of the boys died in the throat distemper epidemic. The proof of relationship is found in a deed executed shortly after Abigail married Abraham. Abraham and Abigail, together with her sister Joanna and her husband [Nathaniel LADD???], sold property from their father's estate. Abigail daughter of Samuel Clifford of Kensington is named as Abigail CARR [some sources say CASS] in her father's will. This was her second marriage. She married first in Kensington, move to Epping, where she was widowed and married to Carr. I will need to dig out my notes to give full details. Hope this helps, Clark -----Original Message----- From: Dick Marston [mailto:RMarston@pacbell.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 1999 1:50 PM To: NHROCKIN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: CLIFFORD Conflict, 1713-1736/7, Kingston/Hampton According to Hosier, Kathleen E., "Kingston, New Hampshire: Early Families, Patriots and Soldiers," (Heritage Books 1993), at pg. 34, Abigail CLIFFORD, d/o Joseph and Sarah (FRENCH) CLIFFORD, married an Abraham SANBORN in Kingston on 6 Jan 1736/1737. This seemingly conflicts with both Dow, "History of Hampton," and Sanborn, "Genealogy of the Samborne or Sanborn Family." Dow suggests, uncertainly, that Samuel's Abigail CLIFFORD married Abraham, son of Tristram SANBORN. Victor Sanborn agrees that it was Abraham, s/o Tristram, who married Abigail, the d/o Samuel CLIFFORD of Hampton. Both Victor Sanborn and Kathleen Hosier give the same date for the marriage, but only Hosier says where the marriage took place (Kingston). GDMNH would seem to confirm the Hosier view, however, in that it states, at pg. 151, that Samuel CLIFFORD's Abigail's married name was CARR, not SANBORN. These Abigail CLIFFORDs were both born in 1713, but on different dates and in different towns. Do GDMNH and Hosier correct Dow and Sanborn? If so, is it known which CARR Samuel's Abigail married? -- Dick Marston ______________________________
