Abigail was the fifth of ten children born to Samuel Cady and Elizabeth Winter of Killingly, Connecticut and Shutesbury, Mass. She was married in Shutesbury on 4 December 1774 to Samuel Crossett, the son of Robert Crossett and Mary Savage.

The following item appearing in the Franklin Herald, vol XXIII, p 3 (6 July 1813) may pertain to this Abigail Crossett:

"One Cent Reward
Run Away from me the subscriber, on the 18th init. an indented servant girl, fifteen years of age, by the name of Juidah Whitaker, I hereby forbid all persons harboring or trusting her on my account, as they respect the laws of Massachusetts. The above reward shall be paid the person who shall return said girl, but no charges.
ABIGAIL CROSSETT
New-Salem, June 19, 1813 26*"

Abigail and her husband were originally interred in Fish Hill Cemetery in Prescott, Mass., but in 1939 were re-interred in Quabbin Park Cemetery. This occurred because most of the occupants of the original cemetery were moved in preparation for it being flooded by the Quabbin Reservoir.
