Hello Dave, Thanks for your kind comments and sharing information with regards to our common lineage. I am very interested in those old photo's you mentioned. I know it's a lot to ask, however, is there any way you could take a picture of each photo and attach to an email for possible inclusion in my site. If I use any, I will of course give you credit on the postings. Thank you again, I appreciate any information you/others provide enhancing our ever-evolving site. God Bless, Ernie Abbott

Hello Ernie,
I found your website (http://abbottfamily.weebly.com/ ). I was amazed while reading the story about my family lineage. I remember my grandmother Barbara Cannon telling me all about the house on Porter road and the family member who was captured by the Indians. Barbara was married to my grandfather Gordon Bailey Cannon. Unfortunately my grandmother passed away from a heart attack about a year ago now. Before she passed she left some old photos in handmade wooden frames of the Abbott family members from 1756-1834. These are very old and appear to be paintings that are about 3 inches wide by 4 inches tall. They are hand signed on the back from each of the Abbott family members. My wife and I use to have these handing in out atrium above the staircase in our old 1830 colonial home. Going back through the family tree the Bailey family was related to the Abbotts somehow. My mom completed some genealogy with the family tree and all this is documented somewhere. She traced the family tree back to the Arch Bishop of Canterbury And Queen Elizabeth the first. My mom and dad lived in this house above in 1974 when I was born. I remember the old storied about “Porter Road” from my mom. She use to tell be about the old Indian shutters on the windows and loved the old house. The lineage as I understand it starting with me and moving backward in time is: David Champy II: son of David Champy Sr. and Diane Elizabeth (Cannon) Champy (1949-2011) Diane Elizabeth (Cannon) Champy: daughter of Barbara Ann Smyth (Carley) Cannon (died Nov 15, 2013)and Gordon Bailey Cannon (1923- 1991). Gordon Bailey Cannon: Son of Helen Elizabeth Bailey (1888- 1979) and Gordon Roderick Cannon (1883-1944) Gordon Roderick Cannon : son of Samuel Henry Bailey (1848-1939) and Elizabeth B Abbott (1850-1917) Elizabeth B Abbott (1850-1917): daughter of Sylvester Abbott (1803-1875) and Rhoda Batchelder (1814-1895) I believe that Asa Gardener Abbott (1803-1877) and Sylvester Abbott were the 2 brothers the house on Porter road was built for. http://www.mhl.org/historicpreservation/detail.htm?ID=614 I am so proud of my family heritage that my daughters first name is Bailey. Thank You for all the work you put into this page….Excellent work.

I did mistake the relationship of hannah abbott chandler dane as daughter. In reading the will, she was his niece, daughter of brother maurice or morris.

Ernie, I have been reading about the time period during which James I and Charles I, james' beheaded son, were reigning. I read much similarity in the land transactions of George Abbott, Archbishop of Canterbury, and if I recall the document I sent made reference to a lack of actual evidence available to the author at the time of publication. I like to cross reference with other modern published sources, but I know that in 1611- James I - George Abbott was archbishop, the court of king James was corrupt, and the Herbert family featured prominently in James' circle of favorites- especially Philip and Charles Herbert. The Herbert's estate, Arcadia, was a haven for idealism and noble gentry. The Herberts sided with the Roundheads. The archbishop was the severe Protestant George abbott. It also mentioned George's family in brief and his private land holdings-not granted by the crown by right of title. I will recheck these sources as soon as I am able, and look forward to continued conversation and perhaps even, your amusement at my theories, but I like to try to use hypothesis testing to solve problems.

Hi I am doing my ancestry tree, my direct line is Tivy. My g g g g grandmother was Jane Abbott of Ireland she was married to William Elliot Shaw, I have just recently found out her mother and fathers name witch was Anne Smyth and William Abbott. We have a letter saying about a lord chief justice of Ireland and for a long time thought it was an Abbott member, now though we believe it may be something to do with Janes grandmother Jane Downes who was married to Thomas Abbott. We have no info on Jane Downes, do you have anything about her or her family. I also live 15 minutes from Bishop Stortford England. Look forward to hearing from you. Regards for now. Ruth
Hi Ernie: Since receiving this message from you, I have been reading and reviewing our family genealogy website that you and Bruce have put together over the last couple of years. You and Bruce have really done a great job in putting the website together. I am truly enjoying myself in re-reading it. We owe you a great deal of thanks for putting together this website. We, as well as future generations of our Abbott family, will greatly benefit from this website. Thank you again, Love, Dad
Dear Ernest: Many thanks for compiling the Abbot genealogy site -- it was a treat to stumble across it! I'm connected to the Abbot's through Naomi Abbot (1790-1781) and who I believe is her father, George Abbott (1755-1818) and Benjamin (1723-1776?) Naomi was my great, great, great, grandmother, if I have my generations right.:) I have a son and two daughters. My aunt and I have been working on building our portion of the Abbott family tree, and your work has been really helpful. Thanks again, keep up the good work! Regards, Leah Cusker
Dear Ernest,I'm interested in finding more of my Abbott lineage. I go back to Hiram b.1806-son Armstrong b.1832- son Wm. Alonzo b 1861- daughter Alice Abbott b. 1890, who was my grandmother. I'm 78. Hiram supposedly floated down the Ohio River with his father sometime in early 1800s and settled in southern Indiana. Any ideas which branch Hiram was from? I think his father may have been Richard from the Lancaster, PA area.
Thanks, Larry Johnson HI,
I found your Abbott web-site today, and I was very impressed with your work. For several years I have been trying to finish some research on my ancestor, Joseph Abbot, who was in Berne, Albany, New York in 1800-1810, then bought property in Cayuga County, NY and showed up there in the 1820 census. I live in South Carolina, so I am not very experienced in doing research in New York or the Northeast part of the US. I was just wondering if you might have ever run across this Joseph. He appears to have been born around 1775-78, and was married to a Chloe Blackman. I know this a shot in the dark, but it never hurts to ask. Judy Allen Greer, SC |
