Hi Joann, I checked the Abigail Willard in Ohio and she isn't yours. Unless you have something to lead you to believe they moved there. I started a search and found them all in Vermont over those years. At least I hope they are yours!! It wasn't easy finding some of them. Apparently Nabby was short for Abigail!! Hope some of this helps. Terry Charlotte, NC (Is the Chelsea House Cafe still there?)
