The son of Daniel Abbott & Mary (Mills) Abbott of England, late of Newe Towne [now called Newton], near Cambridge in Middlesex Co MA & Providence, Providence Co RI, Daniel married Margaret White on 25 Dec 1678 in Providence Co RI, d/o William & Elizabeth White of Newe Towne, Middlesex Co MA, late of Boston, Suffolk Co MA.
Children [known] with Margaret:
1) Mary Abbott (1679-1749); m. Thomas Fenner Jr (1684-aft 1752).
2) Deputy Governor Daniel Abbot III (1682-1760); m. Mary Fenner (1692-1759).
History of Cambridge MA:
" The site for what would become Cambridge was chosen in Dec 1630, because it was located safely up river from Boston Harbor, which made it easily defensible from attacks by enemy ships. Also, the water from the local spring was so good that the local Natives believed it had medicinal properties.
The first houses were built in the spring of 1631. The settlement was initially referred to as "the newe towne". Official MA records show the name was capitalized as "Newe Towne" by 1632."
A Timeline of Facts:
1 Oct 1665 - Robert Williams sold to Daniel Abbott Jr, a 5 acre 'houselot' "....which did in the original belong to Daniel Abbot Sr, father unto the above said Daniel Abbott and was by the said Daniel Abbott, by sale passed away unto one Robert Morris and from the said Robert Morris, it was passed unto me, the said Robert Williams". (This may have been the five parcels conveyed to Robert Morris on 20 May 1644.)
1668 - Daniel took the oath of allegiance to the King and stayed in Providence during King Phillip's War.
1680 - Mentioned in the Providence town records, petitioning for money for the orphans of Thomas Walling, his brother-in-law: "Dan: Abbott.wt ye orphs of Tho: wallings Right To the 7 pd Rate 8d-July 1680 (pg 207)
Jul 1680 - Listed again for a different amount:
"A List of a Rate of a ii (in or/as/money) Levied on this Towne of providence july y 16th:1680: to y end appoynted, as y Towne order enjoyeth Concerneing y sd rate: / the w are/ As followeth impremes,/ Dan : Abbott, with ye orphans of Thomas Wallin 2s 8d." (pg 210-211).
7 Aug 1683 - Filed a Petition indicating not all was well within his marriage to Margaret:
"Whereas my wife Margrett through her maddness of folly & turbulency of her currupt will, hath often threatened to ruinate my family, routeing me (as she saith) of horse & foote, destroying me root & branch, putting out one of her owne eyes to putt out both mine, & sett my house on fire: And is since departed from me takeing away my Children without my consent. And as I have been enformed, is now plotting micheife with some of her turbulent Spiritt, that when I am absent from home to rifle my house & take away my goodes, to accomplish her Divelish resolution against me. These are therefore, not only to advise, but alsoe to charge all persons upon theire perrill to forbare any such illegal proceedings, and alsoe do hereby foreworne & forbid all persons whatsoever, to forbare bargaineing with, contracting of Debts, or receiveing any part of my estate of my sd wife Margrett without my approbation."
8 Jan 1684 - Published "These are to desire the Towne, that the within Written prohibition may be put upon the publick record of this Towne, And alsoe published in this Towne meeting."
21 & 26 Nov 1685 - Two grants of land were made to Daniel Abbott "in the right of his deceased father Daniell Abbott".
"Mad" Margaret had been the second wife and widow of Thomas 'Wallin'. Margaret had first been the wife of Robert Colwell of Providence RI. Margaret is mentioned in Daniel's Will, so they did not divorce, but theirs was a very turbulent marriage.
NOTES:
Daniel's sister Mary was the first wife of Thomas D Wallen/Walling. Some speculate he married Margaret White, the second wife of Thomas D Wallen/Walling, only to regain his sister's share of the family inheritance.
North Burial Ground - Wikipedia:
"The North Burial Ground is a 110-acre cemetery in Providence, Rhode Island dating to 1700, the first public cemetery in Providence. It is located north of downtown Providence, bounded by North Main Street, Branch Avenue, the Moshassuck River, and Cemetery Street. Its main entrance is at the junction of Branch and North Main. The burial ground is one of the larger municipal cemeteries in Southern New England, and it accepts 220 to 225 burials per year."
Cemeteries in Rhode Island - Wikipedia:
"From the time of its founding by Roger Williams in 1636, Rhode Island had strict separation of religious and government institutions. Therefore, Providence had no state churches with adjacent public burial grounds, as most New England towns had. Instead, townspeople buried their dead in family plots on individual farms."
