Burial May 15.Glover Memorials and Genealogies, An Account of John Glover of Dorchester, and His Descendants. With a Brief Sketch of Some of the Glovers who First Settled in New Jersey, Virginia, and Other Places, by Anna Glover, pg 528; print, Boston, MA · 1867): ABIGAIL GLOVER, the second daughter of Thomas and Zebiah (Vose) Glover, was born in Milton, Jan. 21, 1770, and died probably in Boston, at what time is unknown. She was married Sept. 28, 1795, to Seth Baggs or Bangs of Boston. They were both admitted to join the Church at Milton, June 5, 1796, and four of their children were baptized there...
i. David Lenox, [b. 21 Apr 1796], bap. 5 Jun 1796, Milton.
ii. Seth, b. [19 Oct 1797], bap. 17 Dec 1799, Milton. [d. 28 Oct 1800]
iii. Samuel Glover, [b. 1 Oct 1799], bap. 27 Oct 1800 [poss 1799], Milton.
iv. Abigail [R.], [b. 9 Dec 1801], bap. 3 Jun 1802, Milton. [m. William Williams]

Robert Vose and His Descendants, by Ellen F. Vose, pg 84; print, unknown · date unknown (Google Books - ‎Snippet view): III. Abigail Glover, b. Jan. 21, 1770; she m. Boston Apr. 28 1796 [1795], Seth Baggs of Weymouth, b. there Dec. 7, 1772. He d. in Milton, Jan. 23, 1804. Abigail's death is unknown. Mr . Glover was a yeoman and ... Children (Baggs), b. in Milton: David Lenox, Seth, Samuel Glover, and Abigail.

Note: Seth Baggs and Abigail Glover's marriage was registered at Boston, and unfortunately a clerk assigned the same certificate number (yr. 1796, #1646, vol. 308) to the couple that was actually married at this date in 1796, Timothy Bagley and Chloe Freeman. Where Baggs was a rather uncommon name, there is a very high probability this is Abigail. She was either born 1776, or her death age was incorrect. According to Milton Vitals, Susanna (2nd), dau of Thomas and Zebiah was b. 30 Dec 1770; all births after this were not recorded, and there is not an Abigail recorded bef Susanna ii. I don't know where somebody found a rec for the Abigail; the births were figured out by their death; only the baptismal dates were found for Abagail and her sibs. So did somebody find a rec for 21 Jan 1770 and mistaken a 6 for a 0? It appears to be the habit of family to baptize as soon as poss, so the baptisms are going between a couple of days and a couple of months. So Abigail was most likely b. Nov/Dec 1775 or Jan 1776. Would she have been 19y, 8m at time of marriage? [redacted due to inaccurate information ]
