From Biographical and Portrait Cyclopedia of Chautauqua County, New York with a Historical Sketch of the County, by Obed EDSON. "Chauncey ABBEY, president of the Fredonia National Bank, ...He was born in the town of Virgil, Cortland county, New York, April 1, 1815, and is a son of David and Hannah (Woods) Abbey. He is of New England ancestry, and his grandfathers, John Abbey and Nathan Woods, were both of English descent and served in the Continental armies during the Revolutionary struggle of the Thirteen Colonies for independence. His father, David Abbey, was a native of Bellows Falls, on the Connecticut river, in the State of Connecticut and married Hannah Woods, of Bennington, Vermont, after which he came to New York, where he finally settled in the town of Villanova (now Arkright) in 1823... Chauncey ABBEY grew to manhood on the home farm and attended the ordinary schools of his neighborhood, in which he received a limited education in the common-school branches excepting mathematics; in this science he became quite proficient. Leaving school he engaged in farming, which he followed successfully for sixty years on his Arkwright farm of one hundred and nintey-six acres. ... Besides general farming and grain raising he has engaged extensively for many years in stock-dealing. In the latter business his efforts have been rewarded with the same ample measure of success..."
