Several of his > children were born in New York (at least through 1812). By 1820 he is > included in the Jefferson County, Indiana census. He remained in > Jefferson County (near Lancaster, Indiana) for the rest of his life. He > died in June/July 1841 according to Probate documents recorded in > Jefferson County, Indiana. > John’s wife and three or four (due to the way 1820 census data were > collected I can’t tell) males and two young females were living with him > in Jefferson County, Indiana in 1820. In the 1830 census for Jefferson > County he and his wife still had two male children and one daughter at > home. By 1840 he was living alone. > I found a deed for the sale of some property that John and his wife owned, > recorded October 31, 1839. The name for his wife appears to be Gran (I > assume for Granny Abbott). It could be Grace or Fran (old writing is > difficult to read) but it looks like Gran. Neither John nor Gran could > sign their names. Since Mrs. Abbott was not in the 1840 census I assume > she died between October, 1839 and July, 1840. > The “Complete Record Probate C May 1842-Nov 1845” pages 106-110 at the > Jefferson County Courthouse contain John Abbott’s property appraisal and > Sale Bill. His possessions at death were typical of a farmer of the time. > His final Estate settlement is contained in “Order Book F”, page 39. In > this document his assets are listed as worth $150.23 ¾. These assets were > divided between his ten children which are listed (the daughters by their > married names). One of the daughters was Barbara Abbott. Per the LDS > Church Web Page she was born in 1792 and married to John Conklin about > 1813 both in Northville, Fulton Co., NY. If this is correct it appears > that John and wife lived in Fulton Co., NY prior to moving to Indiana.
