Abraham was born about 1655, probably in Concord, the son of Michael Wood and his wife, Mary. It is possible that his mother's family name was Harlow, but that has not been proved. Abraham married Sarah Dakin, the daughter of Thomas Dakin and his wife, Sarah, about 1682, location unknown, but there is no reason to believe that the marriage did not take place in Concord. They were the parents of at least six children, probably all born in Concord, although there is no record there of their births. Abraham was a prominent citizen of Concord, and spent his active life there. He was Town Clerk from 1701 to 1703, and Selectman from 1701 to 1704.
Abraham and his son Abraham leased the "new" mills from the Town of Sudbury in 1700. The mill had been donated to the town by Peter Noyes, to be used to help support the poor . They ran the mill under lease until 1728, when they bought it from the town for 700 pounds. Abraham must have been a miller by trade.
After their son Abraham moved his family to Sudbury, it is likely that Abraham and Sarah moved there too, to live near their son and his family. Both Abraham and Sarah's deaths are recorded in Sudbury, Abraham on November 24, 1747, and Sarah on February 24, 1748.
Although there is no record of his burial, and apparently no headstone exists, Abraham is certainly buried in this cemetery.
