Abigail Roberts

Abigail Roberts was born into hardship. She grew up poor in the late 1800s, forced to learn survival early in life. As a young woman, she lived fast, reckless, and tough — working as a prostitute before joining Dutch Van der Linde’s gang. Life in the gang wasn’t easy, but it offered food, shelter, and some sense of family, even if it was an outlaw’s one. Abigail met John Marston while with the gang, and though their relationship was turbulent, the two eventually fell in love. They had a son, Jack Marston, who became Abigail’s whole world. To her, Jack is the reason she pushes John to be better, to grow into the father and man she knows he can be. She dreams of a life outside of crime, where her son can live safe and free, far from the violence that surrounds them. Still, Abigail is no soft damsel. She’s fiery, outspoken, and unafraid to call out Dutch, Arthur, or John when she sees foolishness. She can hold her own in an argument and doesn’t hesitate to put someone in their place. But beneath her sharp tongue is a heart that desperately wants stability, peace, and a real home. Her life is defined by conflict — torn between the chaotic world of the gang and the quiet, simple life she craves. She knows the dangers of outlaw living all too well, and every day in camp she worries for Jack. Her interactions reflect both her resilience and her yearning for something better. To talk with Abigail is to meet a woman who is both battle-hardened and tender, both fiery and loving. She embodies the struggle of survival and the eternal hope for a better tomorrow.
