Sorry, this is a question more than a response. I have a picture of my aunt, Doris Butson (nee Suter) standing in front of a store in Arner in 1925 owned by a Sid Abbott. Would you have any info on Sid or his wife? I believe that my oldest aunt. Lou was friends with Mrs. Abbott and would holiday at Arner in the summer. Also standing beside her in the picture is Sids' daughter who is about six years old at the time. My aunts were from London, Ont., so I'm wondering if there was a connection there. Both aunts have past on, so I don't have any other info. Thanks, Doug Suter.

I am not very familiar with Ontario, so I am assuming that the town of Amer is there? I do have a Sidney Abbott on one of my cousin lines. He was deceased in 1979 but his daughter is still living and active in genealogical reserach. Would this help you? Her email is ammieb@email.msn.com.

If you find anything on William Abbott or kin, please contact either of us. Thanks.

I have William, Charles, Henry, Issac Elziabeth, George Abbotts all up and down my family Tree. This line of Abbotts arrived in Illinois around 1840 - 45. However I can trace the line back to the Late 1600's early 1700's in some areas and locations are MA to TX to current day. Would be very interested in exchanging Info.

I have connections to Canada (after some unidentifed places in New England) circa 1824-1850: then to Michigan (some of the family from 1851-1888, some to date; then to Lousiana, Arkansas, Texas. My best information is on the Michigan/Louisiana group. I have posted my GEDCOM on Rootsweb.com. It's under DeChaine/Abbott. If you find any correlations I will be VERY happy!

Thank you for your list of family members! My children go back to Isaac Abbott and Elizabeth Ann Tofflemire. We have Isaac born at Point Peelee in 1823; if this is right William and Abigail must have been there that early. Do you know where and when Isaac died? I have his wife as dying 10 March 1903.

If you are doing research on this line, I'd be glad to share with you. Also if you have managed to go back to William and Abigail's time and before, I'd appreciate you sharing. Thanks again. Meg

Hi - I'm researching my children's line and have come to Isaac Abbott and Elizabeth Tofflemire who were married 28 May 1848. Do you have info about this family or their ancestors? Would you like more up to date info on this family line? Meg
