The quoted genealogy entry states Abigail was born 6 Jul 1788 and died 2 Sep 1837, which fully fits the claim of a 1788 birth. It is a compiled secondary source with no image, so it is good but not original evidence.
Matches: Citation text gives Abigail b. 6 Jul 1788, matching the claimed birth year 1788; Death 2 Sep 1837 matches the 1788–1837 lifespan in the claim; Identified as a daughter of Reuben Church, consistent with the Church family subject
Limits: Compiled published genealogy (1949), not an original birth record; No image attached; the text is a transcription in the citation, not checked against the page; Birth place and the source of the date are not given; The will abstract (~pp. 51-52) is cited but its wording on Abigail is not quoted
