The age quoted on the tombstone must be incorrect because his brother Peter was born 20 September 1753. Abraham could not have been born a month later. He must have been born while the family was traveling from the Hudson Valley to Rensselaer Manor because of no baptismal information has been discovered, in spite of an extensive search.
Abraham was a tenant farmer, leasing his land from the Patroon of Rensselaer. A branch of the Van Wormer and Lainhart clans moved to Tioga County, New York, which is where Abraham and his son Frederick died. His wife Catharine moved back to Rotterdam, Schenectady County, New York after Abraham's death.
