Narrative
Perhaps Abigail never married. A letter from Thomas H. Harperspeaks of Abby as if she was living with him and in David R.Harper's obituary it mentions her and uses her maiden name. So,from this I am assuming she never married. According to theHighgate, Franklin County VT 1850 census, Abigail was listed ashandicapped, "deaf and dumb." Abigail finished her life livingwith her sister, Margaret Harper Shepard and is buried in MI.
