Carolyn Hubbard has that Abner was born July 10, 1804 in New York and that he died May 16, 1890. She has that he married abt. 1836 and his wife was Loxanthy born 1815 in NY.

According to cemetery record Abner was 85 years, 10 months, 6 days old at death. With a birth calculator this would put birth at July 10, 1804.
