Hello Ernie, I very much enjoyed your Abbott website. You've done an excellent job of compiling so much information. It turns out we are related though distantly. We are both descended from William Abbott 1525-1569, you from George and me from Robert. My first ancestor in America was John William Abbott of Culpepper Virginia, he fought in the Revolutionary war as an officer with George Rogers Clark. I grew up in Spokane Washington. I currently live in Warwick RI. Rich Abbott
