Celia, Joann, & all: 1810 minus 45 years would be 1765...if Abigail's mom was at the bottom end of 45+, she'd have only been ten when Abigail was born. Not likely, but within a few years of correct. The high end during that time period would probably be about 70. If Mom was born in 1740, and she'd have been 35 when Abigail was born. The range is probably pretty close. Then again, looking at Johnson's mom, Bathsheba Johnson, she was born in 1739, and we know Increase died in 1802. Is there any reason to believe it wasn't her?? Do we know when she died? She'd have been a widow for 8 years at the time of the 1810 census, and about 71 years old. And what's the story on Increase's 'other' wife? I show two wives, but no info on #2, and no death date for Bathsheba Johnson. Am I all messed up? Could it have been one of them?? -----Original Message----- From: Celia G.

It's possible the 45+ female could be Abigail's mother - too bad they didn't list names, I would LOVE to find out her mother's name. Abigail's parents are a mystery! Thanks again, Celia
