Person:Abraham Shotwell (4)

Shotwell, Abraham B: ?? , D:1801.0204, Age: Near 82 Buried at: Rahway 2/5 Last Residence: Essex County Spouse: Mary This is the only record of an Abraham Shotwell in these Quaker records, so I was assuming this is the right Abraham, even though the age calculated a few years off.

But now I find that the book "Mayflower Families through Five Generations" says that Abraham left a will signed 7 Aug 1775 and proved 13 Oct 1775. I have not seen this will, but have no reason to doubt it. Therefore, he died sometime between 7 Aug 1775 and 13 Oct 1775. The will names his brothers Joseph and Daniel shotwell as executors and mentions his wife Mary and children James, Susannah, Rachel, Samuel, Sarah, Mary and Rebecca.
