I have no more information about the Elliott family.

   *** There is a conflict here. My records said she was born in 1682, which would have made her 30 when she got married. But then I found another site that said she was born in 1705, which would make her 9 years old when her first child, our ancestor, was born. Unlikely! But then this second source claimed she lived to 1798, which would make her 93 if born in 1705. Again, possible, but unlikely.  And the conflict deepens... David died in 1717, soon after their son David was born. Abigail remarried - to Joseph Hutchinson of Salem Village - and went on to have eight more children. Definitely not likely if she was born in 1682. My guess is that both the birth and the death dates are wrong.
