Biography

Abigail Nutter married John Roberts about 1650, Dover, New Hampshire.[1]

Research Notes

It is clear that Abigail was not born in Dover, New Hampshire in 1624. Her parents were apparently married in 1629 in England. Since she married about 1650, the year of her birth was probably about 1630.[2] Her father, Hatevil Nutter is said by Anderson to have arrived in Dover in 1636.[3]

Several unsourced family trees give varying data about Abigail, including that she was born in England about 1632, which seems likely.[4]

The fact that she died after 1674 is attested by the fact that she is mentioned in her father's will of that date.

Though not given to much office holding, he received various valuable grants for saw mills and trees for supplying his mills for sawing into lumber.

He believed the Quakers were wrong, and that their teachings were pernicious, as set forth by those women who were whipped. The Quakers had liberty to go elsewhere ; as they did not exercise that liberty Elder Nutter believed it was right to make them go. No doubt both parties were wrong, but the worthy Elder should be judged by the standard of that day, and not by that of

The fact that she died after 1674 is attested by the fact that she is mentioned in her father's will of that date.
