Title: Document Showing the Bond Posting For the Executors of Abijah's Estate

Reference: 170

Note: Some of the information about Abijah And Betsy Graham, their ancestors, siblings and their eight children was researched and sent to me by Sylvia Seymour. Her husband is the 2nd. gr. son of Lewis Ransom Mann, one of Abijah's and Betsy's children. He came to Medina Co. OH. in 1816 ( from Lewis MANN's obit.). Information about the Mann family was also sent to me by Alice Walcheck, a descendant of Lewis R. Mann.

In the book "History of Dover, Vermont; 200 Years in a Hill Town" by Nell M. Kull, Abijah is mentioned on pages 141 & 142 concerning his departure from Vermont and his arrival in OH.

Abijah married Anna in Dummerston, Windham Co. VT, in 1812 and moved to Medina OH about 1816, where she died in 1825. Later that year (1825), he married Anna's sister, Betsey. They had 9 children. He was the builder of the Weymouth Congregational Church. Anna and Betsey's parents, Lemuel and Eunice Burnham Graham, are buried in Weymouth Cemetery near Abijah.
