Surnames: Mead, Heacock Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3RB.2ACE/498 Message Board Post: I'm looking for info on Abram Mead. I don't know a lot about him, except that he was born abt 1800 and had 4 sons, Eli (b. abt 1825), Ebenezer (b. 1830), Nathaniel (b. abt 1833), and John (b. 1840). One source has his birth place as New Jersey and another as PA. I know that his son John was born in Owego, Tioga Co, NY but I don't find him in any census there. Other towns that the family lived in were Woodhull/Borden, Steuben Co, NY and Elkland/Osceola, Tioga Co, PA. I found him, his wife Susan Heacock, and granddaughter, Mary Ella Mead, in the 1880 census in Osceola, PA next to his son Eli. I found links to all of his sons, but I cannot find any information on who his father was.
