About Abraham Wood, Sr.
Abraham was born about 1653, probably in Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts, the son of Michael Wood and his wife, Mary. It is possible that Abraham was born on April 16, 1656.
Abraham married Sarah Dakin, the daughter of Thomas Dakin and his wife, Sarah, about 1682, probably in Concord, but there is no record of the marriage there or anywhere else in New England. They were the parents of at least six children, all born in Concord.
He was a prominent citizen of Concord and spent his active life there He was town clerk from 1701 to 1703 and selectman from 1701 to 1704. It is likely that after his son Abraham returned to Sudbury to live, Abraham and his wife went there also to spend their declining years as their deaths are recorded in that town. Abraham died Sept 12 1746 and his widow Sarah Feb 24 1748.
——
Abraham and his son Abraham leased the "new" mills from the Town of Sudbury, Middlesex in 1700. The mill had been donated to the town by Peter Noyes, to be used to help support the poor. They ran the mill under lease until 1728, when they bought it from the town for 700 pounds. Abraham must have been a miller by trade.
After their son Abraham moved his family to Sudbury, it is likely that Abraham and Sarah moved there too, to live near their son and his family. Both Abraham and Sarah's deaths are recorded in Sudbury, Abraham on November 24, 1747, and Sarah on February 24, 1748.
