Biography

The children of John and Abigail Collins were sixteen, twelve of whom survived him. Mary (died young), John (died young), Samuel, Abigail, John, Joseph, Elizabeth, Benjamin, Mary, Daniel, Nathaniel, Hannah, Sarah, Lois, Alice and William (John)

COLLENS (Collins) Abygaile, d. John and Abigaile, 23: 1m: 1760-61 Lynn Massachusetts Births - I feel that when this was entered it has the wrong year instead of being 1661-61. All the other births in these records are in the 1600's.

Note by a visitor

There is indeed a record for this marriage in Lynn (as the profile now has it) at https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FHTL-V5B, but also one for its being at Salem, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FH1L-23V. The latter matches an image at Massachusetts, Town Clerk, Vital and Town Records, 1626-2001, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q29G-GHQ7. All have 18 Jul 1678. Abygaile was born in Salem (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FHLY-F3F) and that seems more likely. Her father is given as Jon.Collens.
