https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/63334083/dunton is probably mislabeled and should be Abigail Heal. We don’t know the death date for 1st wife Abigail Walker, so set her for “before 6 Sept 1774.”
See https://georgetownhistoricalsociety.org/genealogy/getperson.php?per... with vital record citations.
See https://westportisland.us/images/site/body-images/Dunton_Family.pdf page 4-5 for description that he had 2 wives, 14 children, and Abigail Heal’s death in 1814.
This study looks more reliable than Geneanet and breaks the children differently. But really, if there are birth dates, it’s easy enough to separate.
