m. 3rd
Capt. James AVERY
Swamp Yankee, by James Allyn, page 32.
Samuel
married Abigail Ingraham of
Widow of
Samuel Cheesebrough or Chesbrough. After Joshua Holmes I died, she married
Capt. James Avery, another ancestor. Above from History of
and Genealogical and Biographical Record of
Ancestral
File family group record provides most of her stats.
Directory
of the Ancestral Heads of N.E. Families says a William Ingraham, cooper, was in
Boston in 1653 and later moved to Stonington, CT. Ancestor of Abigail???? She
would have been 15 that year.
Abigail
reportedly had 13 children: 7 Cheesebroughs, 10 Averys and 2 Holmes.
___________________________________________________________
1. In ca 1902 Abigail's maiden name was not known
by Anna Chesebrough Wildey as stated in her book:
" A lineal descendant of this marriage, Capt.
Alex S. Palmer who died in 1894, had not been able to find her maiden
name."
From Vol. 1, page 342 of THE GREAT MIGRATION
BEGINS:
"Many secondary sources give the bride's
surname as Ingraham, but the evidence for this is not seen. The only Ingraham
family to which she could belong is that of Richard Ingraham of Rehoboth. He is
of the right age and in the right place to be father of Samuel's wife, but this
Ingraham family is very poorly defined, and only sons are known for certain
(TAG 19:78, 21:190-91, 22:60-61)."
2. On June 5, 1675, Joshua Holmes was invited by
the widow Abigail (Ingraham) Chesebrough to teach a school in Stonington, New
London County, Connecticut whom he later married - her second of three
marriages.
