| Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. Joshua Stubbs of Charlestown, "with the consent of my mother[-in-law] Abigall Benjamen and of my wife Abigal Stubs," sold land to John Underwood, 8 Nov 1654 (Middlesex Co. Deeds, 2:273-75 [FHL #554000]). Abigal Benjamin was the widow of John Benjamin of Watertown, as shown by a deed of exchange between Abigail Benjamin and Thomas Merritt, et al, 14 Nov 1659 (Ibid, 2:83). Hence, Abigail, wife of Joshua Stubbs, is believed to be the dau of John and Abigail Benjamin. Also see the will of Mary Benjamin of Watertown, 16 May 1646, proved 4 Jun 1646, which calls Abigail Stubbs, "sister" (Suffolk Co. Probate, #41, [o.s.] 1:38 [FHL #584127]). The will of Joshua Benjamin, below, also mentions his sister Abigail. Date of birth is calculated from age 47 on deposition in Middlesex Co. Court Papers, fo. 59, pt. 1 (FHL #901001).
MAR #1: No mar rec found. See above discussion for mar of Joshua Stubbs and Abigail Benjamin.
MAR #2: No mar rec found. John and Abigail Woodward had children born in Charlestown as early as 1659 and probably earlier. The will of John Woodward of Watertown, below, mentions his wife Abigail and daughters-in-law [stepdaughters] Mary Traine and Elizabeth Stimpson. Mary and Elizabeth are daughters of Joshua and Abigail Stubbs. Mary Stubbs married John Traine in Watertown, 24 Mar 1674, and Elizabeth Stubbs married Jonathan Stimpson at Cambridge, 8 Jul 1669. The will of Joshua Benjamin of Charlestown, 5 Apr 1684, proved 27 Jan 1684/5, also mentions his sister Abigail "Woodward" (Middlesex Co. Probate Files, 1st series, #1574 [FHL #386018]). Final payment for the sale of land from Joshua Stubbs to John Underwood was made to "Goody Woodward...which was the wife of Joshua Stubbs" (Middlesex Co. Deeds, 2:273-75 [FHL #554000]). Hence, Abigail, widow of Joshua Stubbs, became the wife of John Woodward probaby about 1656.
DEATH: VITAL RECORDS OF SUDBURY (Boston, 1903), 331 (FHL #974.44/S1 V2n).
