Abigail Adams was the widow of Joseph Adams of Chemung Co., New York. I am not sure if Joseph died in New York or after Abigail and the children moved to Scioto Co., Ohio. Abigail's maiden name may have been Rake, mentioned in "Adams Addenda" which copy I no longer have. I suspect Abigail (Rake?) Adams-Reed was the mother of my Abigail Adams who married Peter Paul in Tunbridge, Vermont. After Peter died, William Reed, the elder Abigail's second husband, was appointed guardian of the younger Abigail's son, Peris Augustus Paul. "Mugail" in the marriage record is most likely a transciption error.
