Abigail Bailey Was not the wife of Deacon William Weeden, Sr., of Newport

Her husband and children are mentioned in the will of John Bailey of Newport in 1733, text is here:

So who was this William Weeden ?

might help: Lieut. Thomas Bailey

'''Mary Weeden now Mary Carr (granddaughter of John Bailey), William Weeden (grandson of John Bailey), John Bailey (grandson of John Bailey)''' from will in his profile I updated his profile with find a grave and added Lieut Thomas Baley in his known as Is he DAR as a LT.

Comments

"some of these relationships are questionable. Comfort Grinnel guardian of Benjamin, Cornelius, Sarah and Abigail (grandchildren of John Bailey) -- these children are listed in Little Compton Births as children of William Bailey, born 1707, and wife Comfort Billings."
