Trees on ancestry.com mention that George Abel was married twice: Mary Polly Beckley (1812, 3 daughters born: Rebecca, Susanna, and Mary Ann Abel) and Mary Steffe (1818, their children: Sarah Ann, John Frederick, Alexander, Aaron, Hiram, Adam, Mary Magdalene, Elizabeth, Amos, David, Cyrus, Lydia Jane- possibly others)...

The birth and death dates for George Abel are taken from the family trees on ancestry.com and census records; which would indicate his age at time of death to be 69 years old. The census of 1850 gives his age as 62 years and is dated 23 July, 1850, which means that he had already had his birthday at the time of this census. Therefore, I changed his birthyear to 1788.

Note: Hill Cemetery and Annapolis Lutheran Cemetery are the same, according to The Ohio Genealogy Society; also noted on RootsWeb.

From Find A Grave Contributer, Audrey Steffee:
George Frederick Abel married Mary Beckley on Mar 27 1812 Jefferson Co. Ohio according to the book called the descendants of John Adam Steffen, Frederick Steffy and Henry Heisler by Cook, Woodruff, Dinger
