Mr. Abbott lived in Cambridge, Framingham, and Hardwick, Mass., but finally settled in Bennington, Vt., 1761, where he d. about 1771, ae. about 80 yrs. On Nov. 25, 1715, he bought a half acre of land near "Adam's gate" in Cambridge, for 40s., on condition that "he build & settle himself upon it," which he did and remained there, a blacksmith, for about 12 yrs., five of his children being b. there. He sold his place here, consisting of one acre of land with a house and barn thereon, also "one Smiths shop standing on the county Road" with all his smith tools, on Dec. 3, 1725, to Ebenezer Swan, Jr., husb., of Cambridge, for 25:10s (Cambridge Deeds, xxv:629). He is probably the George Abbott mentioned in the History of Framingham by Barry, as having been a town officer there 1731. On Dec. 26, 1733, he drew, in the assignment of land to the settlers in Hardwick, a lot of 100 acs. on the east side of the river, being one of the earliest white settlers of the place. While here, on Feb. 9, 1737, he was chosen constable, and on the 30th of June following, it was voted that he provide a pound and be the pound keeper for that year. In 1749 he was selectman. He was an original member of the First ch. in Hardwick, but afterwards joined an organization called the "Separate Church," and probably moved with all of its members, in 1761, to Bennington, Vt., where, according to Isaac Jennings' Memorials of a Century, he, with his wife Rebecca, dau. Martha, and son George, became a member of the church when it was organized there Dec. 3, 1762 (?). This was the first ch. organization within the limits of the present State of Vermont, and was the only one in Bennington for 64 yrs. It originally consisted of 32 male and 25 female members. According to the ch. record in Hardwick, his wife Rebecca, while there, bore him three children. He sold to Edward Sumner of Roxbury, felmonger, on Apr. 25, 1740, about 70 acs. of land in Hardwick, for 105 (Worcester Deeds, xx:422); also to John Hobart of Hardwick, Oct. 23, 1753, about 80 acs. for 107 (Worcester Deeds, xx:341). His descent in some lines has been quite distinguished. Many of his descendants have lived in Canada, western New York, West Virginia, and the western States.

November 15, 1715, he bought a half acre of land in Cambridge on condition that he "build and settle himself upon it." He remained there for twelve years. December 25, 1725, he sold this land. He is supposed to be the George Abbott mentioned in the "History of Framingham" by Barry, as having been a town officer there in 1731. December 26, 1733, he drew, in the assignment of land to the settlers of Hardwick, a lot of 100 acres, and became one of the earliest white settlers of the place. He was chosen constable February 9, 1737, and in 1738, he was poundkeeper for that year. In 1749, he was selectman. He was an original member of the first church in Hardwick but afterwards joined an organization called the "Separate Church," and moved with all the members of the latter to Bennington in 1761. He became a member of the church when it was organized there December 3, 1762. This was the first church organization within the limits of the present state of Vermont, and the only one in Bennington for sixty-four years. April 25, 1740, he sold about seventy acres of land in Hardwick, and October 23, 1753, about eighty acres. His descendants in some lines have been quite distinguished.
