• Notes

  No evidence has been seen that she was a daughter of James Lindall. Several sources give her, with no cited contemporary source, a death year of 1687. But on 4 Dec 1687 the will of her son Christopher Wadsworth leaves a bequest to his "dear and loving mother", severely constraining the period during which she could have died, if this year is correct. Several other sources, also with little or no proof, say that she married as her second husband Thomas Rawlings, and that she was the Abigail "Ralens" ("Rawlins" on the gravestone) who died in Milton on 20 Mar 1712.
