The daughter of Samuel & Elizabeth (Herrick) Stone and wife of John Stephens died in her 76th year.
"Early Vital Records of Massachusetts (Beverly)"

The Abigail Chest was auctioned by Sotheby's in 2000. "Lot 704: An important Chippendale carved walnut diminutive bonnet-top block-front chest-on-chest, "The Abigail Chest," Salem area, Massachusetts." "Description: circa 1760 in two parts, the upper section with a swan's neck pediment surmounted by three finials on fluted pilasters centering three short drawers, the center one fan-carved, and four graduated long drawers, the lower section with reverse-breuakfronted mid-molding above four graduated block fronted long drawers with a central fan pendant below on tall blocked cabriole legs, ending in claw-and-ball feet." "With its direct history of descent from the original owner, Abigail Stone (1695-1770), the present chest-on-chest is an important survival of American furniture from the North Shore of Massachusetts."
