Abner Abbott of Andover, Maine, per historical notation, walked from his home in Andover to Woodstock in his 20s, where he was a farmer, and, in Woodstock, married Laura Hammond of Woodstock on 16 December, 1824. Seth Sterlin, Minister of the Gospel, presided over the marriage.
Andover had been a part of Massachusetts just before Abner was born. It was purchased from Massachusetts by Samuel Johnson and Jonathan Stevens, Sr. from Andover, MA in 1791. The town was incorporated on June 23, 1804 as East Andover, renamed Andover in 1820 when Maine separated from Massachusetts.
On July 18, 1826, in the Woodstock Observer, it was noted that Abner took over the Grist Mill in the town and pledged 'his best endeavors to please all who may oblige him with their custom.'
