There is much confusion related to Abigail Thayer, her marriages, and her children.

(1) Abigail Thayer married James Penniman Sr (b. 11 Feb 1683, d. 30 Nov 1724) on 12 Jul 1705 at Braintree, MA. To this union were born, at least, three children: William, James Jr, & Hannah. Perhaps, Mary & Timothy depending on the source.
(2) Abigail [Thayer] Penniman married Thomas White III (b. 2 Jun 1675) on 17 Jun 1725 at Braintree, MA as his third wife.

Sources for above: (1) "Genealogies of the Families of Braintree, Mass., 1640-1850," (2) "The Penniman Family 1631-1900."

An "Abigail Penniman" is shown to have married Thomas White IV (son of Thomas White III and his first wife, Mehitable Adams, b. 2 Oct 1698) on 17 Jun 1725 in two sources, (1) "The Vinton Memorial" and (2) [Thayer] Family Memorial." Believe this is incorrect information based on others sources. There are no sources showing an "Abigail Penniman" as a daughter of James Penniman Sr and Abigail Thayer.

Still researching for additional confirmation and any assistance would be most appreciated. eMail is available in profile.
