Notes
a. Note:   eived from http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=bing
  Abigail Morse was a sixth generation descendant of Anthony Morse (1606-1686) who emigrated from Wiltshire, England, to Middlesex County in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Her mother's Jackson ancestors were also among the early settlers in Middlesex County. Her 2G-grandfather, Sebastian Jackson (1642-1690), is believed to have been born at sea enroute to Massachusetts from Whitechapel, Stepney, London, England.
  A pre-1904 family Bible and one 1973 source assert that Abigail was a "first cousin to Andrew Jackson," presumably the Andrew Jackson (b1767) who was president of the United States from 1829 to 1837, but no relationship has been proven. The Durfee Family Notebook, a collection of material related to the ancestry of Jane Butterfield Durfee (a granddaughter of Abigail Morse) includes a photo of a small reddish-brown cup whose caption reads: "Small cup given by Andrew Jackson to either Jane Johnson or Lucy Johnson Butterfield as a wedding present, owned by Mrs. Edith [Surname] of Springfield, MO." If the cup was indeed a gift from a cousin of Abigail's named Andrew Jackson, it may have been given on the occasion of the wedding of Abigail's son, William Butterfield, to Lucy Morton Johnson in 1806. No published Jackson family genealogies have so far been found which include an Andrew Jackson who would have been Abigail's first cousin.
  There were no adults over 45 years of age in the John Butterfield household in the 1820 U.S. census for Putnam, NY. Living in John Butterfield's house were one female aged 26-45 and four children: two boys and one girl under 10 and one boy 10-16. Abigail Butterfield may have died before 1820 or may have been living in the household of one of her married children at that time. A woman over 45 years old lived in the household of Ezra and Mathilda (Butterfield) Holcomb in 1820 Fort Ann, for example, who could have been Mathilda's mother Abigail Butterfield.
