  Given the uncertainties surrounding Abigail Root(e), I have elected not to include further information on her except in so far as are verified by Connecticut Town records.

Dec. 6, 1700" Others have associated this David as being the father of Priest David Rose, which seems likely. [S1135] July 2010; http://www.e-familytree.net/F221/F221297.htm. Name: Abigail Roote Born: 20 Jan 1668 at Hartford, Hartford County, CT Died: Bet 1717 and 1763 Other Spouses: Samuel Foote, Joseph Moseley Father: Thomas Roote Mother: Abigail Alvord Note: Abigail first married Samuel Foote. His estate was administered by 31 December 1755. She next married Jonathan Rose. Salzman and others associate Abigail Root as indicated in the source referenced above. Christine Rose does not identify Abigail. While there was an Abigail Root(e) who was the wife of a Joseph Moseley, it does not appear that she was the present Abigail. Other ambiguities were found in the records of various researchers. Given the uncertainties surrounding Abigail Root(e), I have elected not to include further information on her except in so far as are verified by Connecticut Town records. [S333] p. 23ff, 48ff.
