1) Somewhere I have a birth date of 22 Jun 1684, and that all ordinance work is done. Such dates may be different than those with this record. The endowment date I supplied could not be verified, hence a new endowment was "cleared".

2) p76, Valentine, Abiel was given right to operate the ferry between RI and Bristol. This was an important ferry. Abiel rooted himself in Tiverton, as his father did. "Before coming of age, young Abiel allied himself with Eleanor Waite. They were married the day after her 16th birthday. The two were cousins; Eleanor's mother having been born Mary Tripp. They lived at Tiverton. Of course, there was a namesake for Abiel, the father and for the young grandfather (now more than twenty years dead), but this child, born in 1707, died in infancy."

3)p185 of Valentine names sons and daughters of Abiel. Bock: He is listed as freeman in Portsmouth in 1748. (MacGunnide, RI Freemen 1747-1755; Portsmouth VR 1:4; 1:199; Portsmouth TC Rec., 4:435; Arnold 4:102,46).

Notes:

References: Randall, Abiel manuscript from the New Bedford Library; Breffni Whelan, descendant and my 9th cousin, who specializes on John the founder and offspring; Following is a record verbatim from Valentine Research Studio, of Washington D.C., written by Caroline Valentine, and published in 1932: Abiel Tripp Founds a Line The Abiel to whom the known early "double cousins" and many other cousins trace, did not have his "chance" with the rest. Instead of a long life and quiver full of children, he had but a brief, promising youth, and a single child, a son, born just before the father's death, to carry on the name. This first Abiel indeed began well. He was admitted as freeman of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, May 6, 1679, as Abiel of Portsmouth; where he was already a freeman of the town, owning property. Of all but eldest sons, this was required. On May 16, 168282, he is recorded as voting. In 1679, at twenty-six, he was Surveyor of Cattle for Portsmouth, a position requiring quick and keen decisions, and ripened judgment. The Tripp-Hall minds marched so well together that his marriage with a third Hall must have greatly gratified the parents on both sides, two of his sisters having married Halls also. The first Abiel Tripp died at thirty-one, and to the tiny son, Abiel, who first saw the light only three months earlier, came the responsibility for all the long line of Tripps who followed these two. Even the junior Abiel was survived by only two sons, Thomas of Tiverton, and Joseph, who married Frances Hall. Although the second in this Abiel line, the Junior Abiel, was not actually the second Abiel Tripp in America. For a cousin of this same name, born in 1681 in Joseph's line, led him in time by three years. There were four Johns, grandsons to the Founder. John, the oldest son of the Founder's eldest, was by common consent known as the "John Junior". He also produced an Abiel in 1709; so that there were three lines of Abiels evolved to cross and entangle one another, before the fifth genration even began to appear. Deliverance,the young widow of tthe first Abiel, soon married Thomas Durfee. The interests of Abiel, the son, were cared for by a special act of the legislature; whereby, on petition by Thomas, for himself and wife, the ferry between Rhode Island and Bristol, to the north west, was "confirmed" upon the heir of Abiel Senior. It was enacted that the ferry "be stated upon said Thomas Durfee and his wife until the heir of said Abiel come of age". Accordingly, after some little apparent competition between young AAbiel's guardians and John Burden, in 1698 "the Liberty of the Ferry" was voted, for the seven years next ensuing, to Abiel Tripp and John Burden and their heirs, etc., "as formerly", under Thomas Durfee and his wife Deliverance. This was an important ferry, leading to the mainland over a stretch of the bay. It was for that day a big business asset of the colony of Portsmouth and of Newport. It was strictly censored, and the act of confirmation required that the Ferry Masters carry all Magistrates, Deputies and Jurymen, and all other persons being upon his Magisty's service, and the post ferriage, free. They were warned, also, "not to exceed their usual price for ferriage", etc. Since Abiel's wharf in Rhode Issland was at the Island end of the Ferry, it is easy to see how convenient it was for the town to make the first young Abiel, and his son after him, surveyor of the cattle being taken off the island. Just as easy, probably, was it for thhe Abiels to root them selves in the soil of Tiverton. At all events, Thomas was seated there; John Junior, son of John and Susanna Anthony became a fixture there also. Othniel, John Junior's son, staid until his own first wife died, apparently. Before coming of age, young Abiel allied himself with Eleanor Waite. They were married the day after her sixteenth birthday. The two were cousins; Eleanor's mother having been born Mary Tripp. They lived at Tiverton. Of course, there was a namesake for Abiel, the father and for the young Grandfather (now more than twenty years dead); but this child, born in 1707, died in infancy.

As John the Founder's line, the Abiel line started in Portsmouth; as an Abiel line, it started in Portsmouth, but passed to Tiverton, where John Junior's Abiel was also seated, and later, to New York. Bock:(Portsmouth VR 1:3; Arnold 4:102).
