Abigail married Benjamin Allen Oct. 23, 1718 at Bradford, Essex, Massachsett (he was born 1694 possibly at Suffield Mass./ Conn.). They had five children before she became a widow. She married a second time to Nathaniel Harmon, Sept. 14, 1745 at Suffield, Massachusetts (now Suffield, Connecticut.)
Nathaniel Harmon had a previous marriage to Esther Austin, daughter of Anthony Austin and Esther (Huggins). She was a sister of Richard Austin (20 years years younger than he). It was apparently through this connection that Abigail's daughter Abigail Allen married Joseph Austin, Richard's son. This is a bit confusing, so in other words, the daughter of Abigail Jacques Allen married the niece of her 2nd husband's first wife.
To add to the family connections, Abigail's son Ebenezer Allen married July 26, 1750 to Miriam Harmon at Suffield, Ct. She was the niece of his step-father Nathaniel Harmon.
