Shurtleff, ed, RECORDS OF THE GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OF THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY, 5 vols. [Boston, 1853-54], 1:133 [FHL #974.4 N2s]).
MAR: No mar rec found. The will of John Benjamin, below, calls John Eddy of Watertown "brother," suggesting that Abigail, wife of John Benjamin, is John Eddy's sister.

Deeds, 2:83 [FHL #554000]). Abigail Benjamin deposed in court, 3 Oct 1671 that she was aged about 72 years (Middlesex Co. Court Papers, fo. 59, pt.1 [FHL #901001]). Abigail, dau of William Eddy, was baptized at Cranbrook, Kent, 25 Oct 1601 (Cranbrook par reg, [FHL #1473753]).
