"3. ANDREW2 FORD (Andrew1), born in Weymouth say anout 1650/51, died in Abington 24 Aug. 1725. There is no record of Andrew's birth or of his age at death; it is certain, however, that Andrew1 had at least two sons by 3 April 1651, the date of Robert Lovell's will, in which Robert mentioned his son-in-law's "eldest son" and "youngest son."
He married about 1679/80 ABIAH [? PIERCE], born about 1654, died between 22 March 1721, the date of Andrew's letter quoted below, and 8 April 1725, the date of his will which does not mention her. Abiah's identity has long puzzled researchers.
