George ABBOTT

(14 Jun 1615 - 24 Dec 1681)

A monument was erected about the time of 1881 in the burial place of Andover, Massachusetts to his and Hannah's many descendents.

From "The Essex Antiquarian" Salem, MA Vol. 1897 Among several Abbots that early came to New England George Abbot of Andover has the most prominent and numerous descendants. He is said to have emigrated from Yorkshire, England about 1640; and after living at Roxbury awhile, came to Andover, where he was one of the settlers as early as 1643. He cultivated the soil, and lived on the farm latterly owned by John Abbot, the house being a garrison. He married Hannah, daughter of William and Annis Chandler of Andover (formerly of Roxbury) Dec 12, 1646. The parties are said to have come to America on the same ship. Mr. Abbot died in Andover Dec 24 1681 at the age of 66, being, as he says in his will, "aged and crazy in body." His wife survived him, and married Rev. Francis Dane of Andover between 1684 and 1703. She outlived Mr. Dane, and died June 11, 1711, aged 82.
