  · DOWNGRADED from confirmed. The existence of an Abigail (1809–1843) memorial is corroborated by the parent link on Mary Jane Ball Bills's verified memorial, and the birth year matches the report. HOWEVER, the cited URL is a FindAGrave SEARCH query, not an actual memorial page, so the specific claims of death date 30 Oct 1843 and burial at 'Balltown Cemetery, Balltown, Chautauqua County' are NOT substantiated by any record and should not be relied upon. The report's burial (Smith Mills, NY) and death date (22 Oct 1843) remain the primary record. findagrave ↗

  1831-08-06 · Hanover, New York · DOWNGRADED from confirmed. The New England Ball Project genealogy confirms both of Abigail's parents (Thomas Billings Throop and Catherine Walker), the marriage at Hanover NY, and two of the four reported children — multiple matching anchors. However, the dossier states the source page did not resolve and details come from a search-engine snippet only; it could not be independently verified by opening the page. The marriage date 6 Aug 1831 conflicts with the report's tentative 16 Mar 1831 — see discrepancies. tree ↗

The 30 Oct 1843 date rests solely on a FindAGrave SEARCH-query URL, not an actual memorial record, so it is not substantiated. The verified Mary Jane Ball Bills memorial gives Abigail only as years 1809–1843 (no day). The report's 22 Oct 1843 should stand pending a primary record (cemetery transcription or death record).

unconfirmed burial: report “Smith Mills, New York” vs. found “Balltown Cemetery, Balltown, Chautauqua County, New York”. DOWNGRADED from likely. The 'Balltown Cemetery' burial is asserted only from a FindAGrave SEARCH-query URL, with no actual memorial or cemetery record captured to confirm it exists or applies to this Abigail. The sourcesConsulted include Smiths Mill Cemetery / Smith Mills (Chautauqua County), which supports the report. Treat the report's Smith Mills, NY as primary until a real cemetery record is found.
