Notes:

The Genealogical and Family History of the County of Jefferson, New York, in providing the paternal lineage of a remote descendant of John Severns/Severance/etc. gives the name of John's first wife as Ursula Kimball, stating that she was probably the daughter of Richard and Ursula Kimball of Watertown, Massachusetts. Most geneaologies on ancestry.com, however, give her name as Abigail, as do a couple of other secondary sources. There is a Massachusetts marriage record indexed on ancestry.com for a 1635 wedding of John "Severence" to Abigail Kimball. The groom's birth year of 1609 corresponds to a similar record for his eventual second marriage. Abigail's birth year is shown as 1617. Those bearing the name Kimball in the United States are likely to be descendants of either Henry Kimball or Richard Kimball, English immigrants who presumably changed the spelling of their original family name at some point from Kembal or Kemble after arriving in the New World, as the surname Kimball was said to be unknown, or virtually so, in England. Henry and Richard "Kemball,", both of Rattlesden, Suffolk, appear on a passenger list for a transatlantic crossing on the ship Elizabeth sailing in mid-April 1634 from Ipswich, Suffolk, to Massachusetts Bay. Richard "Kemball," age 39, was accompanied by his wife Ursula (age not listed) and children Henry (15), Richard (11), Mary (9), Martha (5), John (3) and Thomas (1). (Henry "Kemball", age 44, was accompanied by his own wife and two daughters.) Notice that there is no mention on the Elizabeth's passenger list of a daughter of Richard's by the name of Abigail (or Ursula). Abigail was probably old enough by then to have traveled independently. I cannot find her on any known passenger list. Her parents settled in Watertown, Massachusetts for a few years at most and then apparently moved to Ipswich, where her father received a land grant. Several more children were added to the family after arriving in America. According to page 169 of John Farmer's "A Geneological Register of the First Settlers of New England" (published in Lancaster, Massachusetts in 1829), Richard Kimball died in 1675. His last will and testament, made shortly before he died, mentioned six sons, namely Henry, Richard, John, Thomas, Benjamin and Caleb, and three daughters, namely Elizabeth, Mary and Sarah. These were probably all of his children still living at that time. There was also a bequest to John "Severans," whom the testator identified as his son-in-law. This is consistent with an abstract from the vital records of Salisbury, Massachusetts available on ancestry.com indicating that Abigail, wife of John "Severans," had died years earlier, in 1658.

Abigail married SEVERANCE, JohnEngland. John was born about 1612 in England; died on 8 Apr 1682 in Salisbury, Essex, Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
