Individual Details
Abigail HUGHSON
(1813 - 15 Jan 1897)
Some evidence that this Abigail is the daughter of George and Phoebe is that they did have children born in the 1812-1814 period and did have a daughter Abigail. Members of George's family did have connections to Mulmur families. Abigail's birth date appears to be pinned down in both directions as she couldn't be born much earlier than 1812 and still have William about 1854 and she couldn't be born much later than 1814 and gotten married in 1831. Despite Abigail and William appearing to have waited from 1831 until 1842 it's quite possible and probable there were other children before 1842 which haven't been documented.
Abigail was single and living in Barton, Wentworth County, Canada at the time of her marriage in 1831.
Abigail is a widow in 1871, aged 58, and living with three children, Robert, Tamer, and William. All house members are W. Methodist religion and living as farmers D Division, South Simcoe, Ontario, Canada.
Abigail is a widow in 1881, aged 68, and living in Tossorontio Township, Simcoe County South with her son William.
In the 1891 census she is living with her daughter, Hannah, in Mulmur, Simcoe County.
Abigail was listed as a Methodist in her death record.
