• Notes

  See this web page for information on Abraham: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wightman/Abraham1711.htm The following is a quote from that site: "Shortly after the completion of the Revolutionary War, Abraham purchased land in Herkimer Co., NY. He did not move there himself, but rather was investing and prospecting, as most did at this time. About the same time and not incidentally I'm sure, all five of his sons and his daughter Amey moved to New York State, mostly to Herkimer County." (Bruce Wightman) Abraham & Susannah had 10 known children.
