An American Family History

Abigail Brewer Luscomb

Settlers from Salem purchased land in an area known as Saugus from the Indians. This land originally included the towns of Swampscott, Nahant, Saugus and Lynnfield. In 1630 the land was incorporated as the Town of Saugus. The settlers changed the name to Lynn in 1637 in honor of their first official minister, Samuel Whiting, from King’s Lynn, England.

Abigail Brewer Luscomb was born on December 4, 1664 in Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Crispus and Mary Brewer.

About 1691 she married John Luscomb (Liscomb, Lyscomb) who was the son of William and Susannah Luscomb. He was born about 1668.

Her father left her all his real and personal estate in his will. He died in 1706.

On February 10, 1706/07, she was a widow and sold Crispus Richards eight acres of her father's land.
