Abigail Parkhurst Mayhew was born 1595 in Hampshire, England and died 1630 Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts of unspecified causes. She married Thomas Mayhew (1593-1682) 1615 in England.
Thomas Mayhew was born in Tisbury, in the county of Wiltshire in England. He married Anna Parkhurst (also called Hanna and Abigail), born about 1600, in Hampshire, England, daughter of Matthew Parkhurst. In 1621 they had a son, Thomas, the Younger, baptised in Hanna's home town of Southampton. Two years later they had another child, Robert Mayhew, baptized in Tisbury.
In 1657, the younger Thomas Mayhew was drowned when a ship he was travelling in was lost at sea on a voyage to England. Mayhew's three grandsons Matthew Mayhew (1648-), Thomas (1650-), John Mayhew (1652-), and other members of his family assisted him in running his business and government.
