Porter-19550 and Porter-8257 appear to represent the same person because: Data same or compatible except that given name for Porter-8257 should most certainly also be Abiah

From sources I just added, it seems her given name should be Abiah, not Abigail. Note that she had an elder sister named Abigail who also lived to adulthood.
