Abel settled on the White River in Arkansas at what became Oxford Bend and operated a ferry service across the river. Most of the family remained in Arkansas and the eldest son (Jacob) continued to operate the ferry at Oxford Bend but two of the sons (William Claiborn and Berry Hill) moved to Texas.
