Looking for information on my gr-gr grandfather, James M. Abbott. He was born June 14, 1815 at Barre, MA, died September 1893 in New York, in Forestport, Oneida Co., NY. Wife was Melissa, children were James K. (became a doctor- graduated from Albany Medical College), Edmund (lived in Old Forge, NY, postmaster there until at least 1900), John W., Ella M., and George N. All children were born in NY, probably in Oneida County. According to various census reports, this family lived in Herkimer and Oneida Counties at different times. James worked as both a lumberman and a farmer. James K. married Jennie, had a son Charles, and a daughter Grace who married George R. Ainsworth. Edmund married Lucy Traffarn, had children, Harold J., Floyd, and Luella. Luella married G. Harry Brown and lived in Old Forge until her death in 1973. Edmund died in June 1918. George N., married Carrie Klinck, had children Helena, Nina, Charles, James, Ruth Ella, and George N. Helena married William Bleakley, Nina died at age three, Charles died at age 17, Ruth Ella married Hugh Jones, and George N. went to Michigan in the early 1900's, married Doris Taylor. Thanks.
