My records agreed with Mary Jane, so I checked other sources. Torrey
Marriages [CD version with sources] has only Abraham and Abigail Durant,
stating that Wyman is wrong.
As I construct it [now on my web pages below with sources]
William Ireland mar in Boston, Abigail Greenland 1685 [Torrey]
Abigail is dau of John Greenland and Lydia.

Their son Abraham b abt 1673 mar 9 Aug 1697 Agigail Durant [Torrey and from
several rootsweb files apparently is in "Vital Records of Cambridge
Massachusetts to the year 1850. Vol. II. Marriages and Deaths." By T.W.
Balden, Boston, 1914. Church record of the First Congregational Unitarian,
Cambridge, MA."
Abraham died 24 Jan 1753 in 81st year. [Wyman; {not 1758}]

Abigail Durant was b 24 Sep 1681, Billerica, [Billerica VR p65, dau of John
Durant and Susanna (Dutton). Grandau of Thomas Dutton and Susanna [Torrey
cites {Reading Hist. 63; Dutton (ms) 1; Utah Gen. Mag. 20:62; Durant 21;
Smith-Hale 227}]
