     ABIGAIL [= Widow Clark] SHIPMAN WFT Vol.2 Tree #1087 gives her surname as SHOPMAN, but the Passaic Valley First Settlers book also Arlien Sifleet's notes give its as SHIPMAN.

See the text for her husband WILLIAM PARROTT to see the argument for SHIPMAN. She was Daniel Clark's 2d wife and widow and came to the marriage having had 5 children.

There is an interesting candidate for ABIGAIL SHIPMAN who was in the right area at about the right time. She was daughter of Benjamin Shipman and Charity Morris, and was born 7 Nov 1735. Her next oldest sibling, Stephen, was born 23 Apr 1738 in Newark, Essex Co, NJ. They were Presbyterians. I have no evidence that this is our ABIGAIL, however. Source: www.familysearch.org.

There are two ABIGAIL SHIPMANs, p 376, First Settlers, to be considered, but neither is mentioned as Daniel Clark's wife. Furthermore, the first Abigail Shipman here gets married in 1772 (too late) and moves to Kentucky and the second one gets married in 1817 [way too late]. So neither of these is our Abigail.

Another ABIGAIL SHIPMAN I have found, but probably too remote to be ours, is daughter of Stephen Shipman, of Glastonbury CT, d 20 Jan 1746-7, will date 1 Jul 1746, wife Mary, sons Daniel, Stephen, Jonathan, David, daughters Mary, Hannah, and Abigail, will recorded 3 Mar 1746-7 (Probate Records of CT). I have no evidence relating this Abigail to ABIGAIL. ABIGAIL was born.⁴ She married Daniel Clark before 1740.^5,6 As of before 1740,her married name was Clark.^6,5 She married WILLIAM PARROTT after 21 April 1756.^2,7,8 Her married name was PARROTT.^2,7 ABIGAIL died before 17 March 1787 at Essex, New Jersey, USA.^5,9,10

     Stephanus Clark Half-brother to THOMAS PARROTT.

First Settlers, p 75:

"Stephanus, who married, 28th May, 1776, Keziah Doty, daughter of George, and removed to the State of Ohio."

"STEPHANUS CLARK, (4th child of Daniel) and Keziah Doty, had children:

1. Polly, who married Jeremiah H. Osborn, 3d March, 1795, as his 2d wife. ... 2. Israel; 3. Elmer; 4. Sally."

and on pp 501-2:

"STEPHANUS CLARK, (son of Daniel) and Keziah Doty, had children:

1. Polly, who married Jeremiah H. Osborn, in Ohio, as his second wife....
2. Debby married John Bridge, son of Benjamin.
3. Sally is unmarried; lives at the Wabash, Indiana.
4. David married Phebe Allen, daughter of Joseph....
5. Israel married _____ _____.
6. Elmer, who is a new light preacher."

Curiously, on p 141: "Betsey [Doty] married, 22d March, 1794, Stephanus Clark, Jun., and went to Ohio. [See Stephanus Clark]." But the Stephanus Clark entries do not mention Stephanus Clark Jr. I will list him as Stephanus Clark's son but leave the question of his mother open.

New Providence Presbyterian Records, Marriages, 1776:

     Elias was born on 7 June 1749.¹ He married Deborah Clark at New Providence Church, New Providence, Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 9 January 1771.^1,2 Elias died on 8 March 1793 at age 43.¹

     Abigail died.³ She She is half-sister of THOMAS PARROTT.

New Providence Presbyterian Church records:

1773:

"Scudder, Thomas, and Abigail Clark, April 5"

She is not mentioned in the Daniel Clark will, unless she is the expected child. Abigail was born.^3,4 She married Thomas Scudder at New Providence Church, New Providence, Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 5 April 1773.^1,5

     Thomas was born.³ He First Settlers, p 375:

"THOMAS SCUDDER, brother of Richard, lived where George Townley lately lived and owned that farm of 100 acres, sold to Mr. Townley, and with his family removed to the west. He married, 5th April, 1773, Abigail Clark, daughter of Daniel Clark ... and had children:

1. Sarah, who married, 10th September, 1793, Nathaniel Jennings, son of Jacob. ...

6: Jane baptized 24th September, 1789; 7. Daniel Clark.

Old Mrs. Scudder, the mother of Richard and Thomas Scudder, died 10th April, 1784."

From New Providence Presbyterian Records, Baptisms, for 1785:

"Scudder, Sarah, Jotham, Abigail & Ruth, children of Th^s., "on his wife's Account", Oct. 28."

For 1787:

"Scudder, a child of Thomas, "on his wife's account", April 8. "Named _____".

For 1789:

"Scudder, Jayne, daughter of Th^s., "on his wife's Account", Sept. 24."

For 1795:

"Scudder, Daniel Clark, son of Th^s., "on his wife's Account", Oct. 18."

So 8 Apr 1787 must be baptism date for Clark, by elimination. He married Abigail Clark at New Providence Church, New Providence, Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 5 April 1773.^2,3
