So far - the children of Abraham and Susannah of CT are known to have been; Joel, b.
1748; Martha, b. 1750; we think - John J. (Rev.) b. 1752; Job, b. 1754: Albert A., b.
1755/6? (based on his wife Hannah Covey's dob of 1755), Jonathan b. 1757. Abraham
died prior to 1759 which is when his widow Susannah remarried to a Thaddeus Grey, son of
Sarah Sherwood Meeker's sister ELizabeth Meeker, wife of William Gray.
Part of the problem is that we do not know the names of all of the children of John and
Sarah Sherwood Carley and the Peter who shows up in Ballstown might have also been one of
theirs, making him an uncle of all of the younger Abraham's children. John and Sarah
appear to have taken their grandchildren with them into the Oblong of Dutchess Co. when
they resettled from CT before 1760 - Rev. John seems to be the only one to have returned
or stayed in CT. as he leaves a pretty open trail. There was also a Sarah Carley, b 1733
who married a Griswold who would qualify to be a do John and Sarah's and a sister of
Abraham and whose family is later found in Herkimer Co with Sherwoods and Annsvile/Camden,
Oneida Co. NY. with Albert's family.
WHY didn't this family believe in documenting itself?????
