He was the son of Daniel Trigg and his wife, Susannah. He was baptized 4 May 1684 at Christ Church Parish, Middlesex County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth Guest on 14 December 1705 at Christ Church Parish. He married second to Judith Clarke on 11 January 1710 at Christ Church Parish. He was buried on 27 February 1719. Note: The parish records incorrectly started the year as 1718 instead of 1719; this was done on the marriage, baptisms, births and deaths. Consequently, some sources will cite his death and buried year as 1718, when it should be 1719.
There is no records that prove Abraham was buried in this cemetery, but based on the events in his life within this church parish, it would seem reasonable to assume he was also buried here. The historian of the Christ Church states "We have no location data on earlier burials before 1843. The vast majority of headstones are from the later half of the 20th century. Your ancestor does not appear in our known-burial records. I have contacted the Lower Methodist Church in Hartfield, Virginia, 23071 and the Hermitage Baptist Church, in Churchview, Virginia, 23032, and they have no record of burials before about 1850 either."

As a curator at the latter Christ Church told me, that could depend on how far the parishoner lived from the actual church, the time of the year, etc. Many parishoners were buried in family plots on their properties. And many of those have simply disappeared....in one instance I'm aware, the original cemetery is now under water. The Church where Abraham Trigg was buried has done considerable work in trying to identify grave sites...some are under large trees, etc. But the absence of actual plats from that period and stone memorials (and some of them are weathered to the point they're unreadable) it difficult to ascertain with certainty that he was actually buried there.
