7. Abigail Ward, born 23 Oct 1716, Marlborough, Middlesex, MA

Notes:

The Medfield Vital Records record the name as "Abiell Wheelocke".

Some have speculated that Abiel Wheelock married Benjamin Albee of Mendon, MA. If this is the case, then a different Abiel Wheelock must have married Joseph Ward, one whose birth is not accounted for in the Vital Records of Massachusets.

The case for the Abiel Wheelock/Benjamin Albee marriage is built on the following indirect evidence:

(1) The dates are consistent. Many children are born to Benjamin Albee and Abiel ___ in Mendon.

(2) It is known from deeds and the proprietors records of Mendon that Benjamin Albee lived next to Obadiah Wheelock, Abiel's brother.

(3) Benjamin Albee and his wife Abiel had a child named Obadiah, a name that does not appear in the family or ancestry of Benjamin Albee.

(4) A great-grandchild of Benjamin and Abiel is named Obadiah Wheelock Albee.

However, lacking any direct evidence for the Abiel Wheelock and Benjamin Albee connection, it seems more probable that this Abiel was the "Abiah" who married Joseph Ward of Marlborough. The Wheelock Ward connection in Marlborough is well established. Abiel's aunt, Record Wheelock married Increase Ward in Medfield, and then moved to Marlborough. Abiel's cousin, Samuel Wheelock, lived in Marlborough for a time, before moving to Shrewsbury; his daughter Lydia probably married a Ward.
