  New York, USA; DEATH: unknown, Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada; BURIAL: Vittoria Baptist Cemetery, Vittoria, Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada; MEMORIAL ID: 45402079; Note: Abigail was the daughter of Abraham Smith, who came from Orange Co., NY, to Fort Erie, Upper Canada (Ontario) in 1787. It is possible that her mother was Abraham's wife Rachel, but also possible that she and her two oldest siblings were children of an earlier wife. Abraham and Rachel were on the membership roll of the Wantage Baptist Church in Sussex Co., NJ, in 1783, about the time of Abigail's marriage to John Gustin of Sussex Co. She and her husband, and their first two daughters, settled in Upper Canada (Ontario) with her parents and siblings in 1787. She had 11 known children, all of whom are linked below. Abigail was mentioned in her husband's will in 1800. She signed a deed with him in 1807, and also had a child born that year. She died, presumably in Norfolk Co., ON, sometime between then and her husband's second marriage in 1814. (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/45402079/abigail-gustin)¹
