Moses lived in a small brick house that still stands just north of the Friends Meeting House in Uxbridge. He apparently converted to Friends (Quaker) beliefs after Moses, Jr., was born in 1730, but while he was still a child. There appears to be no primary evidence of who Abigail's parents were. Given that Thomas Sanford was also a resident of Mendon, even serving with Moses' father as a selectman in 1721, he and his wife Christian are the most logical choice. She would have been born after the Sanford's move to Mendon, where none of the Sanford children's births are recorded. One documented child (his parents are named in his death record), John, was one of those Mendon-born children and others with Sanford surnames are attributed to this couple.
