Abigail's marker has a clear date of birth of 1797. However, two sources give her full date of birth as 1 Dec 1796. Sayre Family: Lineage of Thomas Sayre, A Founder of Southampton, Theodore M Banta, The De Vinne Press, New York, NY, 1901, page 619, gives her date of birth as 1 Dec 1796 and date of death as 9 Apr 1878. Both of these years are one year different from the years engraved on her marker. Connecticut Town Birth Records, pre-1870 (Barbour Collection), also gives her date of birth as 1 Dec 1796.

Find-a-Grave Memorial # 21973692 links Abigail's mother, Abigail (Phelps) Gott to parents Aaron Phelps and Abigail (Barber) Phelps. This may be correct. However, Connecticut Town Birth Records, pre-1870 (Barbour Collection), shows the birth of two Abigail Phelpses in USA, CT, Tolland, Hebron. One of these is the daughter of Aaron and Abigail, with the date of birth shown on Abigail Gott's memorial. The other is the daughter of Roger and Abigail, born 16 Apr 1771. Online family trees have been found linking Abigail Gott to each of these sets of parents, without further source citation.
