[1632] ABIGAIL BARLOW (BILLOU, BALLIOU) was born 22 October 1600, in Leiden, Netherlands, to Thomas Billiou (Barlow) (1570-1639) and Ann Aime (1574-1621.)
On 22 October 1622 she married John Dunham in Leyden, Holland. They came to America in about 1632.
Abigail Barlow passed away 20 March 1669 in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts. Abigail Barlow was about 69 years old when she passed away.
Abigail (Billiou or Balliou or Barlow) Dunham was born in England, probably around 1600. Barlow seems to be the English spelling of her last name. Billiou is the most commonly used variant on WikiTree. Her parents were Thomas Billiou and Ann Aime.
Marriage
Abigail Baillou married to John Dunham before court on August 22nd, 1622 in Leiden. Her father Thomas Billiou and her sister Anna were witnesses [1][2]. The marriage record shows us that John Dunham had been married before, and both spouses were born in England.

Further evidence of the English origins of the family is found in 1624, when her sister Anna marries to Nathanael Walker [3]. This time, Anneken is listed as born in England. Both Abigail and her father are witnesses to the marriage.
Children
Eight children were born to the marriage, some in Leiden and some after the move to Plymouth Colony about 1632. She was last know to be alive in 1669, when she was made executrix of her husband's estate.[4]
