  • Notes 
    • References: Randal, Abiel manuscript from the New Bedford Library; Valentine:

      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).
