JONATHAN ABBE, son of Samuel and Mary (Knowlton) Abbe, born in Wenham, Mass., about 1697; settled in Willington, Conn., where he died May 3, 1757.

The following records from the Ashford land books probably refer to this Jonathan Abbe: 1719, 100 acres of land from John Follett; 1721, 10 acres from Joseph Orcutt, adjacent to land of previous deed; 1761 and 1764, references to holdings of land; 1764, land from Azariah Sanger, Elizabeth Sanger and Joseph Abbe. (Ashford Deeds, B, 133; E, 119; K, 272, 433.)

The inventory of his estate was entered in Hartford, June 2, 1757, by William Arent, James Comins, and Abner Barker, appraisers, (Hartford Probate Records, 17; 32, 18; 86.) The estate consisted of 106 acres of land, with utensils and household goods to the amount of £381-5-4. The Court granted administration upon the estate to Jonathan Abbe of Willington, who was also appointed guardian for Mary, aged about 11 years, and Rebekah, aged about 3 years, minor children of said Jonathan Abbe.

The estate was ordered to be distributed March 4, 1760, the widow having quitted her right to any of the estate. "To Jonathan Abbe eldest son a Double Shair of 8d Estate and to Samuel, Anna, Mary and Rebekah Abbe an equall single Shair."
