Abigail Ingraham: A Notable Wife, Mother and Grandmother

Abigail Ingraham was born about 1636, probably in Rehoboth, Massachusetts and she died February 12, 1715 in Stonington, Connecticut. She is buried in Wequetequock Cemetery in Stonington, Connecticut. It turns out that Abigail Ingraham (Chesebrough, Holmes, Avery) is both my ninth and tenth great-grandmother, and I descend from all three of her husbands- Samuel Chesebrough, Joshua Holmes and Captain James Avery. Additionally, I descend from two of Abigail and Joshua Holmes’ grand-daughters, Mary and Abigail Holmes. Abigail first married Samuel Chesebrough on November 30, 1655 and they had seven kids together- Abigail, Marie, Samuel, William, Sarah, Elizabeth and Elisha.  Abigail married her second husband, Joshua Holmes on June 15, 1675.  They had two children- Mary and Joshua. Lastly, Abigail married Captain James Avery on July 14, 1698. James and Abigail did not have any kids together, however; Captain James Avery is my 11th great-grandfather, through his daughter Hannah, with his first wife Joanna Greenslade. James and Joanna married November 10, 1643 and had nine kids- James, Mary, Thomas, John, Rebecca, Jonathan, Christopher, Samuel, and Hannah.
