DNA: MKM Note: "December 25, 1711, Abigail Fillmore of Beverly, widow, personally appearing in court, confess herself guilty of ye crime of fornication and charged Timothy Cunningham of Boston, coaster, of being ye father of ye child unlawfully begotten of her body, and made oath of same. Its considered that she pay a fine of ____(no sum mentioned) and costs and stand committed till performed." (Beverly Historical Records) "This child, a daughter, was named Ruth Fillmore. It is quite possible that Timothy Cunningham, coaster, was an acquaintance, perhaps a former companion or friend, of John, the Mariner. He may have come to extend his sympathy and offer his help to Abigail. Perhaps he came too often and stayed too late. There is nothing to indicate that Abigail was a promiscuous woman. Despite the unfortunate incident it is apparent that her eldest son, John, held her in high esteem, as did also, her mother, Deliverance (Shaw) Tilton." "By her will, made 9 November 1730 and proved 2 July 1733, Deliverance Tilton left to her three sons, 5 s. apiece. To the three sons of son-in-law Robert Bell, deceased, 5 s. apiece. To her daughter, Sarah, 10 pounds. To John and Ebenezer Philmore and Ruth Kennison, children of my daughter, Abigail, deceased, 10 pounds each." (Taken from Essex Probate, 319, 393) "Apparently Abigail did not stand condemned indefinitely in the eyes of all. On 7 November 1717, she married Dr. Robert Bell, a physician and widower, who had come from Scotland to Ipswich. The Bells removed to Norwich, Conn., about 1720. Dr. Bell is listed among the physicians of Norwich, and is referred to as, "the father-in-law of Captain John Fillmore." (A different use of the term from that in present day practice.)" (Information from History of Norwich, Connecticut, by Francis Manwaring Caulkins, pp 224, 634) "Abigail (Tilton) Fillmore-Bell, twice married, twice widowed, the mother of three children by each husband, and mother of a child of 'sorrow' rather than of 'love' entered eternal rest at the age of 48 years 6 months." All from Fillmore, "So Soon Forgotten, Three Thousand Fillmores"
