I still haven't determined his father, but I found Abram and his family starting in the 1850 census (he was indexed under Alvin and Alviron). He was in Deerfield and Osceola, PA. I found that he actually had several children: Eli (abt 1825) Ebenezer (1830) Salley (abt 1832) Nathaniel (abt 1833) Betsey (abt 1837) John (1840) Mary E (abt 1842) Jacob (abt 1845) Jane (abt 1847) Susannah (abt 1849) If anyone has any information on any of his children as well, I'd appreciate it. Thanks everyone.
