BIRTH & DEATH Abigail was born on 10 November 1677 in Lynn, Essex co., MA[4,8,25] as "Linssy, Abigall, d. Eliezur and Sarah". She died after 6 April 1719, when her husband's will was divested/probated.
RESIDENCE & RELIGION Samuel Newhall's branch of the family also lived on Nahant, Essex co., MA -- which had become a haven for the Quakers of Lynn. Samuel & Abigail were Quakers. As such, finding the vital records of them and their children are more difficult. They registered them with the Quaker church rather than the town government. This is not to say that all Quakers shunned the colonial town structure. But Samuel was an ardent convert to the religion and he and Abigail were the patriarch and matriarch of the Quaker branch of the Newhall family. Given that he came of age during the 1692 Salem Witch Hysteria and converted to the religion at a time of great persecution of the Quakers by the prevailing Puritans, it is not a great leap to assume that he preferred to protect himself and his family with as little contact with Lynn as possible.
MARRIAGE On 31 December 1695 when Abigail was 18, she married Samuel NEWHALL [26,27], son of Thomas NEWHALL & Elizabeth POTTER, in Lynn, Essex co., MA[4,8,28,29,30,31,32,33]. An intention was also filed in Lynn, Essex co., MA on 31 December 1695 as "Samuel Newhall & Abigail Lindsey, both of Lynn.". Joseph's son, Hanson, and Huldah's daughter, Hepzibah, married.
