He was born in Andover , MA
He was the 4th deacon in the 1ST Congregational Church for 41 years in Concord, NH
George Abbot, who settled in Concord about 1732. He purchased the original right of Samuel Grainger, and became a proprietor in the town. His house was the old mansion still standing on Fayette St. and was occupied by a garrison. (There is a tradition that at an early period of the settlement, Dea. Abbot raised five bushels of potatos one year, to the great wonderment of his neighbors as to what he would do with so many)
Enterprising, industrious, charitable; a man of sound good sense, whose remarks were treasured up as maxims. A strict observer of the Sabbath and of religious order, he was constant with his family at public worship, and faithful in the instruction of his children. His life was cheerful, his end peace. He married Feb 1, 1737 Sarah Abbot, daughter of Stephen and great-granddaughter of George. (Abbot of Andover.)
She was b. Oct 8, 1711; d. Jun 14 1769. She also was of a kind and charitable disposition. She not only relieved the immediate wants of the poor, but gave them advice and instruction relative both to temporal and spiritual things. She died in the hope of eternal happiness, through Jesus Christ. A_Smittle Ancestry.com
