wife of Benjamin Sprague aged 62 years when she died "Her Maiden Name Abigail (Hodge) Tisdale Sprague she was married to Tisdale before Benjamin Sprague.By Harley Lusher"

Abigail married first Elkanah Tisdale in 1726. After the death of Elkanah she married Benjamin Sprague in 1760.

"Here hee the Body of Mrs. Abigail Sprague wife of Mr. Benjamin Sprague departed this life July 29 in the 63rd year of Her age".

Research Notes

Abigail had been connected as a child of Esther and Henry Hodges, but the Hodges Family genealogy does not mention her. She supposedly married, first, Elkanah Tisdale. No such name appears in the Hodges book. A search on AmericanAncestors finds no such marriage. FamilySearch has an undated implied marriage record for an Abigail Hodge and Elkanah Tisdale in Lebanon, Connecticut. There seems to be a conflation of two Abigail Hodges there. There are no credible sources on this profile concerning her parents, so she has been disconnected as a child of Esther and Henry.
