[5240] The records are apparently unclear about Abigail's marriage. Either John Cary
or Samuel Neale are cited as husband by different sources. Anderson in
"Great Migration" accepts the Cary argument of Clifford Stott in TAG 71:18.

"Abigail Penniman, b. Braintree, 27 Dec. 1651, d. Bristol, Mass, (now R.I.), 25 June 1729,
aged 79 y; m. John Cary. Abigail was surnamed "Carie" in the will of her mother, and she
is apparently the Abigail Cary of Bristol whose will, dated 7 May 1722 and proved 12 Feb.
1729/30, mentions "My husband Deacon John Cary deceased." John Cary and Increase Robinson,
the husband of Sarah Penniman, were among the commissioners who divided the estate of Lt.
John Hall of Taunton, husband of Hannah Penniman, on 29 Dec. 1694. John Cary of Bristol
deeded land in Bridgewater to the heirs of Increase Robinson, "my brother-in-law,"
deceased, on 25 May 1704. The mar. jf John Cary Jr. and ---- on 7 Dec. 1670 is recorded in
Bridgewater. A duplicate entry in the pub. VRs from a private source made many years later
calls the wife Abigail Allen. The above provides sufficient evidence that she was actually
Abigail Penniman."
