Henry Abeel/Obail's father sent him away to be educated by the Quakers in an effort help his people deal with the US government and the pressure on them to be integrated into white society.

He worked as an interpreter for his father and Quaker missionaries to the Seneca reservation, assisting them with schooling in their native language.
