A daughter Ruth born July 15, 1671. Hoyt’s child list (I:355) agrees with Savage’s, giving Abigail as born March 7, 1660-1.

Richard Hubbard of Boston deeded property in S. to Abigail Wheeler of Boston, wid. of Henry Wheeler” (the year cannot be read in the OCR). Hubbard married Abigail’s sister Martha Allen.

His twelve children were born 1639/40-1658/9, Abigail (Jan. 4, 1639/40, m. about 1659 Henry Wheeler) the eldest; Martha (1646) married Richard Hubbard.

Rowlandson (I:306-307), read in the Ellingwood kin research (research/ellingwood/Ellingwood_Kin_Connections.md, October 2026): Thomas Rowlandson, of Ipswich in 1648, removed to Salisbury about 1652, died July 1682; will 7 July 1682 naming his wife Dorothy, a son Joseph and four daughters. Hoyt makes him a son of Thomas Rowlandson the elder and a brother of Rev. Joseph Rowlandson of Lancaster. Children include Thomas, b. 5 July 1656, “killed by Indians in the attack upon his uncle’s house in Lancaster, Feb. 1675-6,” and Martha, b. 24 Aug 1666, a twin, “prob. m. bef. 1706, Ralph Ellenwood.” A footnote: “In an agreement about the est. of Thomas Rowlandson, signed April 8, 1706, by wid. Sarah Bond and Samuel Joy, of S., (in right as purchaser of J. Blodgett and Mary his wife), ‘John Elenwood and Ralph Elenwood and Martha his wife,’ are given as children of Thomas Rowlandson.”
