Jeanette, I'm not tracing this line. Have you tried the 1880 census? Enumeration district 154 Page 2B Township of Franklin, Johnson Co., IN lists Abbott, Andrew J 33, wife Nancey 25, son John S. age 9, daus. Lizzie 8, Armetta? 6, son Thos. R 2. Ancestry.com has Indiana Marriage index: Andrew J. Abbott Julia N. Crane 28 Aug 1869 Johnson Co.

Abbett who married Clara J. Abbett in Shelby County is the son of Andrew J. Abbett and his wife Julia Nancy Crane Abbett. It appears that John S. and Clara are buried in the Hamner Cemetery in Johnson County. I will be glad to share info. Thanks for your help.
