  • Notes 
    • According to History written by William Howe. 'Abigail was small and dark complexioned. A favorite pastime of hers was horseback riding and a horse was kept for her special use. She was very religious and a constant attendant at church, to which she always went on horseback. One Sunday for some reason she did not go as usual; the horse which was grazing in an adjacent field evidently thought church going was in order, when he saw the people passing by; he jumped the wall and went deliberately to the church door where he stood for his mistress to alight, then in conformity to the usual custom, went and waited in the horse shed until the service was over, and following others again presented himself at the church door, and after a few minutes trotted home again, having carried out his part of the Sabbath observances.'
