Containing his parentage, birth, marriage, and manner of life, while in nature's darkness -- His conviction, conversion and sanctification -- His Gospel labors, and divers remarkable occurrences while a local preacher, till the death of his wife.
My grandfather, James Abbott, was born in Somersetshire, in Great Britain. He removed to America and settled on Long Island; where he married, and had five sons and two daughters. My father, Benjamin Abbott, was his third son: when he arrived at age, he removed from Long Island to New Jersey, where he married the daughter of Mr. John Burroughs, sheriff of Hunterdon county. Afterward he removed again to Long Island, where he resided for some time, and had two sons and one daughter. After this he sold his farm, and moved into Pennsylvania, bought a plantation of four hundred acres of good land, and lived in credit, where he had three sons and one daughter more. My mother, when on her death bed, lay sick of a nervous complaint about five weeks. In the dead of the night, before she expired, she cried unto the Lord, and besought him to look in mercy upon the family, and with a loud voice prayed fervently for us all, which caused the spectators to wonder and to cry out, "Hannah, what is the matter with you?" Next day she departed this life. I then pondered these things in my heart.
