      See notes under both father and mother relative to information about Abigail. The following came from Smith - Tilton Genealogy (page 293) on internet (www.google.com) related to Abigail Clark. Children of Abraham PIERSON (President of Yale Co) and Abigail CLARKE were as follows: 19 ix Abigail3 PIERSON, born 1696. She married David SHAPLEY. SOURCE: Families of Early Guilford Connecticut by Alvan Talcott [1984]:984. PROBATE: Mother's Probate: To Mrs Abigail Shaplis the youngest daughter.

      Abigail Pierson had 13 WC entries with, 7 listing children (4 listing 1 child and 3 listing 11 children). Those listing 11 children all had the same children names and similar data when data was presented. Those children with continued descendants came from 3 children - John, Ruth, and Adam. The WC entry with the best data was WC "dkeeney", although the spouse name was not corrrect (Mary Worthington instead of Abigail Pierson). Data from this entry was same as for other WC entries listing 11 chldren.

      New Familysearch listed one close match for Abigail Pierson and 5 partial matches with proper spouse, but incorrect data for Abigail. From the close match, only 2 chidlren for Abigail - Ruth and Adam. Ruth was listed with 5 children and Adam with zero children.
