  3.   Abbe calls him "probably" the son of Samuel Abbey and Sarah Musson, which appears to mean that Samuel had a son John (his will says he is living in Middlebury) and the John who married Ruth Risley is the closest fit. No birthdate is available, other than a finding that there were 6 people in John's household by 1810. The tombstone, however, gives his exact age, placing his birth six years after the marriage of Samuel and Sarah Warren (Leland).
