Thanks for the reply. Which of Abel's children are you related to? I am related to Larnard Sampson. I would like to send you more detail on the genealogy if you would like. I'm not sure of your e-mail address. If you could e-mail me, that would help. I find that Abel was born in Townsend, MA, then moved back and forth for a few years to Raby, now Brookline, VT and Rindge, VT and Townsend, MA; those being the towns where some of his children were born. Then, according to history of Mt Holly, he moved there in 1806. Someone sent me inscriptions from Packer Cemetery. All this I would be happy to share. Just let me know. I also have the descendants.
