Notes
Biography
Death record for Lucy Forbes Crossett which givesparents as Ruth Abbott and Joel Forbes, but her birth record gives mother asThankful and father as Aaron Forbeshttps://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G979-9KTX?i=540&cc=2061550
this is a death record for one of the children ofLucy Forbes and Samuel Crossett that gives mother’s name as Lucy Abbott
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NWKY-8J3
so maybe Lucy is adopted by the Abbott family orshe is an out-of-wedlock child of Ruth who was claimed by Aaron Forbes???
The Abbott genealogy does not say she marriedForbes – so it looks like an out-of-wedlock child
