Source: Cemetery index at ashtabulagen.orgAbel Luke was one of 14 children born to Johann Friedrich Luecke (John Frederick Luke)and Elizabeth Betsey Stone. Abel's father was a Hessian soldier of Gross Elbe (now Elbe) Duchy of Brunswick (Germany) who fought for the British in the Revolutionary War. Abel's mother was born in Groton, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts.

Abel married Laura A. Lamphier--a/k/a Laura A. Landfier & Laura A. Lanphere--(daughter of Elijah Lanphere and Anne Fitch) on 1 September 1816, probably Hamilton, NY. They were the parents of Abel Lamphier Luke, Albert Stone Luke, Elijah Shaw Luke, and Mary Jane Luke (m. Alanson Cogswell).

According to family records, Abel and Laura (Lamphier) Luke are buried in "Rock Creek Cemetery, Morgan Township, Ashtabula Co., OH."

Note: The stones of Old Rock Creek Cemetery were moved a short distance and set in Union Cemetery, Rock Creek, Ashtabula Co., OH. However, the old Morgan Township Cemetery in Rock Creek, Ashtabula County, OH has some very old graves, including those of Ezra & Nathaniel Griffin. A photo, if available, would certainly determine which cemetery.
