When Abraham Warford was born in 1733 (Baptized April 1, 1733), in New Jersey, his father, Job, was 24 and his mother, Mary Delameter, was 20.
He married Hannah Seybold (last name uncertain). They moved to Loudoun County, Virginia around 1766. They had at least the following children:
1. Elizabeth (1764-1846) - She married James Crooks.
2. William (August 15, 1766-April 21, 1835) - He married Hannah Lee (March 17, 1766-?), daughter of John Lee, of New Jersey.
3. Catherine (1768-?) - She married Jacob Shry on October 31, 1799.
4. Sarah (1770-?) -
5. Theodocia (1780-1853) - She married Joshua Lee on September 27, 1799. (Catherine and Theodosia's marriages show Abraham Warford as security). Page 2 and 5, of Jewell's "Marriage Bonds of Loudoun County, Va. 1762 to 1850."
In his will, children William, Catherine, Jewell, and Theodicia are mentioned.
Abraham died sometime between May 5, 1796 when his will was written and 1799 when his will was proved, in Virginia at the age of 63.
