Notes:

Thomas is the son of Mary & John (Jonathan) Abbe.

> At an early age, their uncle, in order to obtain possession of their property, arrange to ship the 2 boys to America.
George & brother Thomas were left orphans hen quite young & were brought up by their uncle, and as they were heirs to a considerable estate it was the desire of their uncle to remove them out of the way that the inheritance might be his. To enable him to realize his wishes without hindrance, he wrote to the captain of a ship about to sail for America, requesting him to take the lads with him. George and his brother were sent with the letter, with orders to remain on board until they received an answer. They remained as directed, but to their surprise, while waving, found themselves victims of deception & carried on their passage without the possibility of returning.
The above facts I received from meatier, Thomas Geer, but mostly from Joseph Geer, grandson of George, when I was 15 y of age. Signed, Jephthan Geer.
The boys were then put on shore in a new country without money or friends.
In his old age Thomas w was a steady & worthy inhabitant. The property of Thomas remained in the same name until 1796 when, as appears from record, Elihu Geer disposed of his house & lands and removed, since which time there is no record of any descendants residing in Enfield.
