About John Abbe, Jr.

There were 2 other children named John Abbe born to John Abbe, Sr. and Hannah. They both died after a very short time, but to differentiate them from their 3rd child named John, John Abbe Jr., historians have named these children John Abbe 1, John Abbe 2, and John Abbe 3. This has caused confusion about the generations, but it is clear when you research their birth/death dates. The first two who died seem to be from a first wife of Johns' (Goodale). The surviving John Abbe, Jr., is born after his marriage to Hannah.

Marriage: 25 November 1674 to Hannah to death Wenham, Essex, Massachusetts, United States

From the book published in 1916 "Abbe -Abbey Genealogy In Memory of John Abbe and his Descendants" by Cleveland Abbe and Joseph Genung Nichols

J0HN ABBE, son of John and Mary (Loring ) Abbe, born in 1636 or 1637, probably in Salem, Mass., died suddenly, December 11, 1700, in Windham, Conn. As early as 1663, he was one of three to oversee the Town's Common and to resist encroachments on the timber. He may be the John Abbe who was constable in 1669.

He is first described as a yeoman of Wenham, and was admitted to freedom by the court at Boston, May 11, 1670. In a document of 1683, his father designated him as the heir to his estate in Wenham upon the condition of his caring for his father and mother in their old age. He apparently resided upon this estate until about 1696.
