I am looking for the roots of my ggfather Joshua C ABBOTT 1800 PA-1886 CA PA>OH?>AR>CA. In 1830 he married Elizabeth Ann Matthews, (1. Joel EPPPERSON, TN) and they had 5 children in Benton Co AR: Richard b 1832 (Mary StClair or Sinclair), Catherine (BURNS) 1834- ; Daniel 1836-1906 (Fannie FINE); Adaline Eliza (SCHROEBEL) 1838; Malissa (BOX) 1840 I don't know any sibs' or parents' names. Family stories are that he was PA-D. Does anyone have any connections? I haven't done any of the snail mail research work yet; been too busy keeping up with email posts! But I thought I'd try to see if an SOS turned up any "cousins". (I found three that way!) Thanks, Win in MN wterrell1@juno.com
