Family 1 : Abigail WHEELWRIGHT

Notes
In 1666 he was the first Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. This was (and in 1997 still is) located on Broad St. in Newark, NJ. Also see note for Thomas. Notes about the KITCHELL family; As published in 'Whallon and Kitchell Families'; by Edward Payson Whallon, 1932 Samuel Kitchell, Robert Kitchell's son, married Grace Pierson, daughter of Rev. Abraham Pierson, pastor of the Guilford Church. Laxness of views spreading through the colony, Dr. Abraham Pierson was asked by the 'Fundamentalists,' as they classified themselves, to find a new home for them and their church. He first organized a church at Southampton, Long Island, and then, going to the territory now occupied by Newark, N.J., he secured this for his people and sent word to them to come down as a Colony and Church, Samuel Kitchell, his son-in-law, being with him there from the first, as one of the founders of Newark. The Guilford Church and people became re-established at Newark, and Dr. Abraham Pierson became the first pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Newark. Robert Kitchell became known as 'the benefactor of Newark.' Dr. Pierson's son, Dr. Abraham Pierson, was his assistant and successor as pastor, and became founder and first President of Yale College, his statue in bronze now standing on the campus. The daughter, Grace Pierson Kitchell, wife of Samuel, is the mother of all the American Kitchells.
One possible correction is that Abraham PIERSON married Abigail MITCHELL 1639/40 as his second wife. Sources: N.E. Marriages by Torrey, and Early Families of Milford CT. Says that Abraham married 1639/40 'Abigail MITCHELL - 2nd. wife?' If this is correct, then the children born after 1640 would have been the children of Abigail MITCHELL.
Names children Abraham, Thomas, Theophilus and Isaak as well as daughter Davenport and Mary and wife Abigail.
