Disputed Parents
There were definitely persons by the surname of Lines in New Haven Colony. Namely Henry and Ralph. There is no known relationship between the two. They were both having children in the 1650s. This makes them contemporaries of Abigail, who was also having children in the 1650s. She could not possibly be the daughter of either, but perhaps sister or cousin.

Find A Grave: Memorial #80062354 speculates she is buried at the Old Burying Ground of First Presbyterian Church. Her husband's stone is there.
I think the estimate on her birth is way too early and should be closer to 1630 - children b. 1650- 1672. Her husbands date seems to be established by Hotten at 1618, but that doen't mean he didn't marry someone much younger.
