Hi Nancy and Cynthia, In regards to T2 R1 in Somerset County would read T2 R1 BKP WKR now a days is actually Lexington Twp. I have Abbotts in a partial listing of the 1860 Federal Census in Lexington as follows: Davis Abbott age 18 Male Farmer born in Maine attended school within the year Daniel W. Abbott age 14 Male born in Maine attended school within the year Susan J. Abbott age 12 Female born in Maine attended school within the year Laura A. Abbott age 10 Female born in Illinois attended school within the year This group of children are living with Albee Parsons and his wife and family. Another family in Lexington - 1860: Moses B. Abbott age 27 Male Farmer Value of Real Estate $75 and Value of personal estate $60 Born in Maine Angella(?) Abbottt age 19 Female born in Maine Enoch Abbott age 3 Male born in Maine Peter Abbott age 2 Male born in Maine 3rd family in Lexington - 1860 Peter Abbott age 64 Male Farmer $600 Value of Real Estate $353 Value of Personal Estate born in NH Abbigal(?) Abbott age 64 female born in NH 4th listing Peter Abbott age 32 Male Farmer born in Maine Dorcas Abbott age 32 Female born in Maine were listed as living with Silas and Mary Williams age 61 and 58 respectively. In the 1860 Federal Census for No 2 R 2 W Ken R (T2 R2 West of the Kennebec River - Highland Plantation) I have one Abbott family: B. F. Abbott age 43 Male Farmer $700 Value of Real Estate $490 Value of Personal Estate born in Maine Sarah M. Abbott age 44 Female born in Maine Olive A. Abbott age 20 Female born in Maine Benjamin R Abbott age 18 Male Farmer born in Maine attended school within the year. Angeline Abbott age 15 Female born in Maine attended school within the year. Joseph R. Abbott age 11 Male born in Maine attended school within the year. Rachel R. Abbott age 9 Female born in Maine attended school within the year. Orrilla (?) Abbott age 7 Female born in Maine attended school within the year. Sarah F. Abbott age 2 Female born in Maine. These may not be all of the Abbott's in those areas, the ones I listed are on the same sheets as the Prescotts that I am researching. So there may be more. I have another partial list of No 2 R2 W Ken (Highland) in the 1850 Federal Census listing the Abbotts as follows: Benjamin Abbott age 33 Male Farmer $400 Value of Real Estate Owned born in Maine. Sarah Abbott age 35 Female Born in Maine Olive Abbott age 10 Female Born in Maine Attended School within the year. Benj R. Abbott age 8 Male Born in Maine Attended School within the year. Angeline Abbott age 6 Female Born in Maine Attended School within the year. Joseph Abbott age 2 Male Born in Maine Rosanna Abbott age 1/12 (one month) Female Nancy Abbott age 14 Female Born in Maine Attended School within the year. 2nd Family Joseph M. Abbott age 40 Male Farmer $400 Value of Real Estate Owned Born in Maine. Mary Abbott age 33 Female Born in Maine. Anna Abbott age 76 (?) Female Born in Maine. I hope that this information is helpful. And again, these are not complete lists of the Abbotts in the area. The T2 R3 Bingham Purchase West Kennebec River that Nancy mentions in an early posting is also known as Carrying Place Town TWP.
