  	He names his wife, Abigail, sons Timothy, Jonathan, Jeremiah and Josiah; the heirs of his deceased son, Nathan, and his daughter, Abigail Stanley (Abigail Hall married Nathaniel Stanley).

• Notes

  From Cheryl Hall, Sept. 2017: "Preserved Hall, 1706-1780, son of Benjamin and Sarah (Fisher), Grandson of Edward Hall of Rehoboth (Family 006) "Preserved and his wife, Abigail Whitney have nagged at me for a while as I've never been able to find a definite death date for them. Apparently, his Will has become available on Ancestry only recently as none of the trees on Ancestry have that information. "Preserved wrote his will on 20 July 1780 stating that he was very sick and weak but of perfect mind and memory. He names his beloved wife Abigail so if this is the same first wife, Abigail Whitney, she did not die until sometime after 20 July 1780. "Preserved's Will was presented for Probate on 30 August 1780 so he died sometime between writing his Will on 20 July and when it was presented on 30 August in 1780. He names his wife, Abigail, sons Timothy, Jonathan, Jeremiah and Josiah; the heirs of his deceased son, Nathan, and his daughter, Abigail Stanley (I've found that she married Nathaniel Stanley). He does not name heirs of his son Abijah so I am assuming he, Abijah, died without issue and his daughter, Esther, never married. "For his wife, Abigail Whitney, I've also found some differing information. According to birth records, Abigail was born on 22 May 1708 in Wrentham, Norfolk, Massachusetts to Josiah Whitney and his wife, Mary. Mary's surname has not been discovered, but there are a couple of spotty marriage records for Josiah Whitney and Mary. One record not giving a marriage date but a date of 1666 for her birth; the other giving a marriage date of 1686. It was after Mary died (and I believe I've found what could be her death record) that Josiah married second to Abigail Marten, so I think it is correct that Mary is Abigail's mother, not Abigail Marten. If the death record is her's, Mary Whitney died in Wrentham on 18 July 1710. Josiah married Abigail Marten on 3 Nov 1713 in Wrentham, so that would have been too late for Abigail Marten to have been Abigail Whitney's mother. "Unfortunately, a death date for Abigail (Whitney) Hall has not been found nor the burial location for her and Preserved. I presume that they are both buried in Hallowell, Maine."
