widow of Mr. William Walworth
aged 84 years

[Married William Walworth in 1690 New London CT. Children are, Martha, William Jr., Mary, John, Joanna, James & Thomas (Twins). Info from Donn Neal- "William and Mary Abigail immigrated from England in 1689 aboard the same ship where they met and then married in 1690 soon after arriving in New England.They first settled on Fisher Island, just off the cost of Connecticut but belonging to New York, where they managed the farm of Governor Fitzjohn Winthrop of Connecticut. Their first four children were born at this location. Later, between 1699/1701, they established a residence at Groton, Connecticut, where William became a prominent land owner. Mary was descended from one of the earliest families of Scotland. She was 20 years old and the only child when, after the death of her father in London, she emigrated to New England on the same ship as William."]

[bit. 1752, January 14: "Old Ms. Wallsworth of Groton, died in New London at her son-in-laws John Starks aged I suppose above 84. Her husband was William Wallsworth and she lived with him as tenant on Fishers Island, above 50 years ago and then came off and he was the first that ever set up butchering in New London. 53 years since he settled in Groton and died there."(Hempstead's Diary)From "The Aaron Stark Family of Groton, Connecticut" by Charles Rathborne Stark p.10.]

[Mary Abigail Seaton, born in England, came to New London at the same time with William Walworth (1646-1703) and in the same ship. "She was an orphan, the only surviving child of her parents. In consequence of the English law of primogeniture, her father, the second son of a wealthy family, received nothing by inheritance. Thus Mary, in childhood, was left by her father's death in a state of dependence. From this she was rescued by a bold step of her own, that of emigration, and by a happy marriage with William Walworth." [Walworth, Clarence A.: "The Walworths of America . . . Family History . . . Genealogy." Albany, New York: The Weed-Parsons Printing Company, 1897, pp. 13-14.]
