4. John Blanchard was born on 27 Mar 1660 in Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts (son of Nathaniel Blanchard and Susanna Bates); died on 10 Mar 1733 in Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts. John married Abigail Phillips about 1684. Abigail (daughter of Deacon Nicholas Phillips and Elizabeth) died on 19 Sep 1724 in Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
5. Abigail Phillips (daughter of Deacon Nicholas Phillips and Elizabeth); died on 19 Sep 1724 in Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts. Notes:
Bassett-Preston Ancestors (citation details below) gives her the birth date of 20 Feb 1661. This source also states, evidently incorrectly, that her father married on 4 Jan 1651, as his second wife, Hannah Salter. That would make Hannah Salter the mother of Abigail Phillips, but evidently this is a result of confusion with a different Nicholas Phillips. To the best of our knowledge, Nicholas Phillips had only one wife, Elizabeth (not proven to have been Jenson or Jewson), and while she last appears on the record consenting to her husband's sale of some property on the 11th day of the 6th month, 1651, she could easily have lived quite some time after that.

In 2024, Ian Watson (citation details below) explained how a convincing case cannot be made for Susanna Bates, wife of Nathaniel Blanchard, as the Susanna Bates who was baptised 12 Jan 1634 at Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire, a daughter of Edward Bates and Susanna Putnam.
