Thomas (2) Abbe married at Marblehead, Mass., December 16, 1683, SARAH FAIRFIELD, born December 24, 1655, at Reading, Mass; died in Enfield, Conn., November 27, 1742. She was the daughter of Walter and Sarah (Skipper) Fairfield, and had previously been married to ______ Needham. The Wenham records give this record of the marriage, "Thomas Abby and Sarah Fairfield of Wenham were married the 17th day of December, 1683, being lawfully published with the consent of her parents Walter Fairfield, and his witness with Moses Maverick and Elizabeth Fairfield." The marriage is recorded in both Marblehead and Wenham. Walter Fairfield was son of John and Elizabeth ( ) Fairfield, who came to America in 1638. According to tradition he sprang from the Huguenot Beauchamp family that left France for England shortly before St. Bartholomew's Day.
