Genealogical History of the Clark and Worth Families by Carol Clark Johnson
"GEORGE ABBOT was bon in 1616, and came from Yorkshire, Eng., to Roxbury, MA in 1638 with Rev. Ezekiel Rogers. He lived for a time in Roxbury where he married, Dec. 12, 1646, Hannah, daughter of William Chandler who came on the same ship. Abbot, a tailor and the church sexton, was one of the first Andover settlers in 1643, and the house he built there was for many years in the possession of his descendants. It was used as a garrison for the shelter of neighbors during Indian attacks. It is believed likely that the three Abbots of Andover were related, probably sons of three brothers, one of whom with three sons went to Rowley. Forty-four of this name had graduated from New England colleges by 1844.
George Abbot could write and served on the Grand Jury in 1658 and in 1676; in 1658 was commissioner for Andover and in 1663 was Constable. In 1669 he was chosen arbitrator in a civil case. He died Dec. 24, 1681, in Andover, and his widow married, as his third wife, the Rev. Francis Dane. Hannah survived Mr. Dane and died June 11, 1711, aet 82. Their descendants, in respect "for their moral worth and Christian virtues", erected a monument to their memory in 1843."
