J0HN ABBE, son of John and Mary (Loring ) Abbe, born in 1636 or 1637, probably in Salem, Mass., died suddenly, December 11, 1700, in Windham, Conn. As early as 1663, he was one of three to oversee the Town's Common and to resist encroachments on the timber. He may be the John Abbe who was constable in 1669.
He is first described as a yeoman of Wenham, and was admitted to freedom by the court at Boston, May 11, 1670. In a document of 1683, his father designated him as the heir to his estate in Wenham upon the condition of his caring for his father and mother in their old age. He apparently resided upon this estate until about 1696.
