JONATHAN ABBE, JR., son of Jonathan and Mary (Johnson) Abbe, born in Ashford or Willington, Conn., about 1725. No record of his birth has been found but he is designated in his father's will as eldest son.

The following land transfers in Ashford, Conn., probably refer to him : Jonathan of Ashford, 1785 ; same 1793 ; agreement with Job Tyler regarding a mill privilege, 1795, David Abbey being a witness. (Ashford Land Records, Liber 1, page 663; Liber 12, pages 14, 371; Liber 13, pages 15, 16, 17.)

In 1768 a call was extended by the Church in Westford to the Reverend Ebenezer Martin, and Jonathan Abbe is one of the names subscribed to the covenant of the newly-formed church. He shared pew number 18 with Ephraim Walker when the new church was built. He and his father had been members of the Willington Church in 1759. Jonathan, jr., is said to have lived in Tolland, but no records of his residence there are found. A Jonathan Abbe married in Willington, November 1, 1774, Mary Weston, who died August 11, 1775. This is possibly a first marriage of his son, Jonathan. There is also recorded in Willington the marriage of Jonathan Abbe to Abigail Osborn, July 8, 1756, and they were members of the church there in 1759.

Married in Willington, April 10, 1752, ALICE JOHNSON.
