"2. Abraham (Errington), s. of Ann (1), m. Rebecca, dau. of Robert Cutler of Chs., and had Rebecca, bap. here, m. John Gibson 9 Dec. 1668; Abraham, b. 11 Nov. 1652, d. young; Abraham, b. 1 Nov. 1654, d. young; Hannah, bap. here, m. Thomas Ayres, and was living in Newbury in 1699; Sarah, bap. here, m. _____ Lewis, and was living in 1716; Mary, bap. 13 Jan. 1660-61, d. prob. 1689; Abraham, bap. 8 Nov. 1663, d. prob. 1689; Ann, b. ____, m. _____ Parker, and was living in 1697; Jacob, b. 12 Sept. 1668, d. 2 Oct. 1668; and perhaps others. Abraham the f. was a blacksmith, and res. on the easterly side of Brighton Street, about midway between Harvard Square and Mount Auburn Street; he owned also the lot on the opposite side of the street, where the old 'Porter Tavern' stands. He d. 9 May 1677, a. 55; his wid. Rebecca d. prob. 1697, as in that year she received alms for the last time of the Church, and in the same year a final settlement was made of her husband's estate. She seems to have endured much affliction in her old age. Frequent donations were made to her by the Church between 1686 and 1697, and for a much longer period to her daughters Gibson and Lewis, both widows, especially, in 1689, 'there was a contribution for widow Arrington and her family, they being under the afflicting hand of God; her sons were taken away by death, and her daughter, and a grandchild.' The male line seems to have become extinct."
