I am the great granddaughter of Joseph Hall Abbey whose parents were Abraham/Abram Abbey and Cherry Ann Hall. I have Abraham's father as Joseph. In Joseph's will, dated 20 July 1844, his widow is Martha. He resided at East Bloomfield, Ontario County, New York. Listed as minors are Austin Abbey and Mary Abbey, Thomas Jefferson Abbey, Nathaniel Abbey, Susan Abbey, Joseph Abbey and Sarah Abbey. The last five children are Abraham and Cherry Ann's children. A guardian is appointed to watch out for the interests of the children, a Lawrence W. Cole Abraham is not mentioned in the will. One of my gt.aunt's told me that Abraham had left Cherry Ann when Joseph Hall Abbey was four years old. Another relative found this will and has done a lot of research on the Hall line. The will also mentions another daughter Adeline Atkins.

I went on to mocavo.com, entered Joseph Hall Abbey today
and saw your postings.
