Find A Grave Memorial# 11497780

Abigail was daughter of Jeremiah and Mary Wilbur of Smithfield, Rhode Island and descended from the distinguished "Wilbore" family of England. She was from the same town where Joshua was born and eventually, they married. They later moved to Sackville, New Brunswick (then part of Nova Scotia) to claim land deserted by the Acadians. After 14 years, they were ousted because of their loyalty to the colonies. They lost their land and travelled to East Hoosick, Massachusetts just before the war began and Joshua and her young son James fought. In 1789 Joshua returned to Massachusetts from Ohio and brought his wife and family to Marietta and that same Spring to Waterford where they settled. Joshua and Abigail were originally buried in the Old Sprague Cemetery now on the Devol Farm and later their graves, with some others, were moved to their present site at the Sprague Farm in Coal Run (Washington Co, Ohio). She was 95 years old when she died.
