Notes |
- Excerpt from "New England Historical and Genealogical Register": Nathaniel Sparhawk lived in the part of Cambridge which became the town of Brighton. In "Historical Brighton," by J.P.C. Winship, p. 160, are found the following statements concerning Abigail. "About a year after Nathaniel's death his widow Abigail married Joseph Mayo. At his death she returned to her old home in Brighton to live with her grandson, Nathaniel. Here she lived to the great age of one hundred and six years. During the last few years of her life she was so feeble that she had to sit in a chair with a bar across the front to support her. This chair was one of the family curiosities until a few years ago, when it disappeared." Mrs. Mayo was not quite as old as is stated above. The record published in the "Pennsylvania Magazine was probably copied from a Boston paper. She was actually in her 104th year at the time of her death.
