According to Eddy Family in America, Abigail was born 1688 in Brookline, MA They believe her husband Obadiah is buried beside her with an unscripted head and foot stone. Obadiah Eddy born 02 Sep 1683 in Swansea, MA, died 1757 in Swansea, MA.

Dear Linda, I have a copy of the Eddy Family in America that gives a little background on Abigail's family. On page 56 it reads: "The Devotion Family was well-educated. Her father was a graduate of Harvard College and her brother John was the first school teacher in Swansea. In the Swansea records it is written under the date of 1715, "John Devotion shall teach our youth to read (sic) Inglish and Lattin and write and sipher as there might be ocation." Some of the Devotion family went later to Suffield, Conn."

I realize that spelling of words wasn't formalized for quite some time later, but this quotation makes me both shutter and chuckle.

Regards, Virginia (Eddy) Combs
