• Notes

  The name "Abel J." appears in his marriage register entry, but he apparently was always known as Obediah and the name is repeated in a son and a grandson. While it is possible that was actually given the name Abel at birth, it seems more likely that the registry clerk mistook "Obed" for "Abel", The name "Abel J." appears in his marriage register entry, but he apparently was always known as Obediah and the name is repeated in a son and a grandson.
