Individual Details
Robert Abell , Capt
(Abt 1610 - Aft 1658)
The Archives of Maryland, Vol. XLI, p.95, "Provincial Court Proceedings 1658",
Whether the first Abell to settle in Maryland is Captain Robert Abell or Richard Abell is strictly speculation. Some genealogists might prefer to name no one as the father of Samuel Abell I because there is no real proof of his parentage. I prefer Captain Robert because of the 1649 record of a law suit in the colony (Archives of Maryland, Volume X, pages 131 & 203). The earliest record of Richard is in "The Archives of Maryland, Vol. XLI, p. 95, Provincial Court Proceedings, 1658", 11 years later.
