NOTE: Needs independent verification: the death, birth and burial of David Morrill rest on History of the town of Henniker, Merrimack County, New Hampshire, from the date of the Canada grant by the province of Massachusetts, in 1735, to 1880; with a genealogical register of the families of Henniker (Leander W. Cogswell, 1880) and Find a Grave Index (secondary information) alone and have not yet been confirmed by a second source.

The Henniker register gives Abigail’s death as 3 January 1800, aged 14 months, but her father David Morrill’s own 1821 pension affidavit lists an Abigail aged 16 among his children, so the register’s death is not adopted here and the question stays open; a Henniker death or baptism record would settle it.[22]
