"2. Abraham2 Kimberly {Thomas1), born presumably in England, perhaps about 1630, died in Albemarle (Chowan) County, N.C., (before 27 Mar.) 1680; … Records of the Superior Court of Chowan County, at Edenton, N.C., show that in 1670 Abraham Kimberly was sworn in Court to appraise the worth of a boat. On 27 Mar. 1680, administration on his estate was granted to Mr. Joshua Lambe and Mr. William Therrill. As the record calls him 'of this county,' it appears that he died in North Carolina. [North Carolina Historical Register, 1:136, 138.] Furthermore, there is no settlement of his estate in Connecticut."
