Abraham's burial place is unmarked. He and his wife Sophia were members of St. Luke's Old Williams when their younger children were baptized. But their older children were baptized at Lower Saucon and Sophia's burial record indicates burial at Lower Saucon. So it is likely that Abraham was buried at Lower Saucon.
