I'm relaying to you this posted msg from 1999, in the hopes that it will help. I happened to notice the name ABIJAL earlier today, and just noticed a similar name in a msg. There was a ABIJAH
HOSMER, FATHER- IN -LAW OF HENRY B. LOOMIS, listed in msg below. It is Abijah not Abijal, and the dates occur later, but perhaps it will lead to your missing ancestor. Sometimes a family name gets written down, but it was not a direct line, or it was another branch of the family, an in-law. Anyway Abijah is certainly close, and it is connected to the
Loomis family by marriage, and connected to the Rev. War. There is a rich history in this branch of the line,I'd like to find out I'm related..good luck. Barb
Townsend (g.g. grandaughter of Sarah
Angeline Loomis b. NY 1834, who married Albert
Elijah Pound
Here's the relayed msg.

Surnames:
Loomis,
WARD I am searching for information regarding my 4th paternal grandfather and his family:
Anson C. Loomis
1807-1856
He married Emily
HOSMER, daughter of Abijah
HOSMER and Christina West, and had Henry B. Loomis in 1834. Henry B. Loomis is my great great grandfather.
Anson C. Loomis was son of Jerome
Loomis (1757-1840) and Elizabeth
Tippetts. His father, Jerome
Loomis, fought in the American Revolution under General
LaFayette in
New York. Anson's grandfather was Joseph
Loomis V (and the rest they say is history...).
I am also curious to solve a spelling mystery on the maternal side of my paternal great grandfather, Edwin
Steward Loomis. Asahel
WARD or Asabel
WARD also fought in the American Revolution, and married Esther Franklin (second cousin to Benjamin Franklin). I don't know if its Asabel or Asahel - but in the
www.familysearch.com his name is Asabel, while my written records say Asahel. The information for both names match each other, and I am wanting to know which is correct. Asa(h/b)el Ward's grandson married into the family (on Edwin's paternal side), making my paternal great great grandparents third cousins (hey, at this rate of proliferation, the whole world'll probably be related to each other by only 3 generations, and half of 'em will be Loomises....lol just kidding...)
Thanks,
Ryan S. Loomis (
