Notes:

GEORGE ABBOT, Andover, 1643, had been some years at Roxbury. He married 12 December 1646, a maiden, said, in reasonable tradition to have come in the same ship with him, Hannah Chandler (called Mary on town record of Roxbury), daughter of William Chandler of Roxbury, had John, born 2 March 1648; Joseph, 11 March 1649, died next year 24 June, the first death on record of Andover (where he is called son of Henry by mistake); Hannah, 9 June 1650; Joseph, again, 30 March 1652, who was killed by the Indians 8 April 1676, the earliest victim of the war in that town; George, 7 June 1655; William, 18 November 1657; Sarah, 14 November 1652; Benjamin, 20 December 1661; Timothy, 17 November 1663; Thomas, 6 May 1666; Edward, died young; Nathaniel, 4 July 1671; and Elizabeth, 9 February 1673. He died 24 December 1661; and his widow married Reverend Francis Dane, as his third wife outlived him, and died 11 June 1711, aged 82. Hannah, married 20 December 1676, John Chandler; Sarah, married October 1680, Ephraim Stevens; and Elizabeth married 24 November 1692, Nathan Stevens. His son Benjamin was afflicted by Elizabeth Johnson, a witch, as she confessed in 1692; and she implicated goody Currier in the diabolical work. Yet the nature or degree of the affliction is nowhere shown. Currier was executed on account of other charges. The confession of the nonsense, which probably was the cause of Johnson's impunity is seen in 3 Massachusetts History Collections I. 124. Of this first George of Andover, said to have come from Yorkshire, descendants are very numerous of which forty-four with the family name, besides forty-nine others through female Abbots, had been graduates at some colleges in 1844. Seven sons and three daughters married and resided at Andover, while of 73 grandchildren, five settled at Concord, New Hampshire, four went to Connecticut and two lived at Billerica. Of seven farms, on which his sons lived, four were occupied by descendants in our day.

George married Hannah Chandler on 12 Dec 1646 in Roxbury, Suffolk County, MA. Hannah (daughter of William Chandler and Annis Agnes Bayford) was born on 23 May 1630 in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England; died on 2 Jun 1711 in Andover, Essex County, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
