Notes for Ebenezer Abbe: Ebenezer Abbe, son of Samuel and Mary Knowlton Abbe was born in Salem Village, MA, baptized in Wenham before 1685, died in Windham, CT. He removed with his father to the locality known as "Bricktop" in 1698, worked at Norwich for a time, about 1705. He was at Windham in 1706 and later lived at North Windham and Mansfield, CT. November 1705, were recorded two deeds showing an exchange of property between Samuel Abbe and Ebenezer of Norwich, a lot upon Bushnell's Plain. He received a deed from Samuel, July 17, 1707, and sold land to Abraham Mitchell and William Slate in 1709 and 1711. Ebenezer Abbe married at Mansfield, Mary Allen, who died in 1766, daughter of Joshua and Mary Allen, early settlers of Mansfield, who lived near what is now North Windham. October 29, 1713, John Abbe, "now resident at Hartford, in Hartford County," sold to his brother Ebenezer land he had received from his father, Samuel Abbe of Windham. In a deed of November 2, 1713, he alludes to his deceased father, Samuel Abbe, January 11, 1714, land bought from his brother, Samuel Abbe, and calls Abraham Mitchell "father" (he had married Ebenezer's mother after his father died). He is found frequently in the records of Windham. September 8, 1742, he sold to his son Samuel, land on the east side of Nauchaug River in Windham. In 1715, Ebenezer Abbe was one of the settlers who formed Canada Parish at Hampton Hill in the northeast part of Windham, and was one of those who on May 9, 1717, signed a petition to the General Assembly asking to be made a separate parish. In October of the same year another petition was sent to the Assembly, asking that the taxes on property in this parish should be used for the establishing of their church. This petition was signed by "Ebenezer Abbe, for the rest," and William Durkee. His will, dated June 3, 1750, probated Dec 14, 1758, names these heirs: wife Mary; children Ebenezer, Joshua, Nathan, Gideon, Samuel, Elizabeth Cross, Zeruiah Marsh, Jerusha Wood, Abigail Cary, Miriam Cross, grandson Jonathan Bingham, only surviving son and heir of his daughter Mary, deceased.
