    "John Abbe, son of John and Mary (_____) Abbe, born in 1636 or 1637, probably in Salem, Mass. died suddenly, December 11, 1700, in Windham, Conn. … He is first described as a yeoman of Wenham, and was admitted to freedom by the court at Boston, May 11, 1670. …

    In 1696 he disposed of his property in Wenham and purchased of Lieutenant Exercise Conant, July 13, 1696, for £70, silver money, home lot number 7, at Windham Centre, with the 1000-acre right belonging, dwelling house, etc. … He sold his farm in Wenham, 30 acres with buildings, to Nathaniel Wainwright, October 19, 1696, for £130. He probably soon after removed to Windham, Conn., for on December 9, 1696, he was admitted a freeman of that town as John Abbe, Senr, of Windham. He and bis wife, Hannah, were dismissed from the Wenham Church to that of Windham by a letter of October 28, 1700, and were both original members of the first church in Windham at its organization, December 10, 1700.”

  7. The spelling of the surname makes this assertion somewhat questionable.
