      Abigail Stevenson was born about 1640, the daughter of Edward and Ann S tevenson of Newtown, Long Island.[1] [2] [3]
      • Note: Many of the sources noted here indicate a strong possibility th at she may have been the daughter of Thomas Stevenson and Maria Bullock [4] [2] [3])
      About 1660, she married Daniel Denton of Jamaica, Long Island.[5] [1] [ 2] Their children included:
      1. Daniel,[2] born 1661, who married Deborah. After he died in 1690, hi s wife remarried Gabriel Luffe. Gabriel Luffe is noted in Maj. Daniel W hitehead Jr's will as his daughter-in-law[1]
      2. Abigail,[2] born 1663, who married Benjamin Stebbins,[6] and is also n oted in Maj. Whitehead's will as his daughter.[1]
      In 1672 Daniel Denton petitioned the court for a divorce from his wife A bigail Stevenson, based on her adultery. The court declined to consider h is petition, so Daniel Denton appealed to the Governor and Council. The G overnor granted a divorce, apparently including permission for Daniel t o remarry. A few months after Daniel Denton's divorce petition was gran ted, Abigail petitioned the Court of Assizes for permission to remarry, e xpressing "regret for her misconduct." Her petition was granted by the G overnor and Council on 4 October 1672. [7]
      Abigail remarried, probably not long after her petition was approved, t o Major Daniel Whitehead, Jr.[8] [1] Daniel Denton married Hannah Leona rd as his second wife in 1676. [9]
      • Note: The date of Abigail's marriage to Daniel Whitehead is assumed a s 1672, but this causes a problem with Mercy, who married Thomas Betts i n 1683 and had a son in 1685.

      1. Mercy,[4] who married Thomas Betts,[2] [10] and then married Capt Jo seph Sackett in 1711.[3] [1]
