| Notes |
- He came to NE with his father's family, probably about 1642, lived at
Rowley for about 14 years, and settled in North Andover (now Andover
Centre) in 1655. He was a husbandman and tailor, very thrifty and
industrious, and for that day was financially well off, being according
to the tax list, one of the five wealthiest men in Andover. He was a
member of Sgt. James Osgood's Militia Co. in 1658 - 59, and had
previously been a member of Sgt. Steven's Co. He was made a freeman 19
May 1669 and was elected constable 3 Jun 1680, "for ye north end of ye
town for ye year ensuing."[maryabwhiteanc.ged]
This George was probably Hannah's father. He was born in England and lived in Rowley, MA for about fourteen years after coming to New England. He moved to Andover in 1655, living in that part which was later called North Andover, and now called Andover Center. He was a farmer and tailor and was well-to-do for the times, being very industrius and thrifty. There were only four men in the town who had higher taxes than him. In 1658-59 he was a member of Sgt James Osgood's militia company, and before that a member of Sgt Stevens' company. He was named freeman in 1669 and was constable in 1680. He held numerous other offices. For about thirty years he was in charge of the North meetin house at Andover, and received 30 shillings a year for ringing the church bell. The first grant of land which he received from the town consisted of two parcels of about four and six acres each, the first including a house and orchard. The first record of his land at Salem is 10 Jun 1662, for land which his son John inherited. The Andover committee assigned many other lots of land to him at various times, and there are many deeds on records made by him. He died intestate, and his property was divided between his widow and his ten children including Hannah and John. He is sometimes mixed up with another George Abbott who also lived in Andover at the same time.
