Additional information on this family was extracted from the gedcom of H. Arthur Packard (g441.ged) found at the Ancestry.com website. Arthur descends from Amiziah and Abigail's daughter Sarah Richmond Houghton.  Arthur's gedcom has 13 children listed under the marriage to Abigail, he does not assign any children to the first marriage.  The extra sibling is a Gilbert who m. a Polly W. _____.  It is possible that this is "Burt" and perhaps he married twice.
