Both Abigails are shown in The Harriman Family:Research in Progress
(available from the Harriman Family Association
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~harrimanfamassoc/
) by Lois Ware Thurston. Abigail, born May 13, 1724, was the daughter of
Richard and Sarah (Hall) Harriman. She married WIlliam Eastman and they
lived in Bradford. The other Abigail is listed but not followed further.
There are 11 children listed of the Eastman marriage, none of whom are
followed further (but birth and some death dates are given).
