(3) Abraham Redlon, 7th child of (2) Mattias Redlon; (l) Magnus Redlon
Abraham Redlon was born in Pepperelborough, now Saco, Maine, September 1763. He married Aug, 25, 1786, to Patience Tibbets, daughter of Samuel Tibbets.
Samuel Tibbets descended from Henry and his wife Eliza who came from London, England in the ship "James" in 1635. Henry Tibbets was called "shoe maker" on the voyage and settled at Dover Neck, New Hampshire. His daughter married Abraham Redlon and was an aunt to Gideon Tibbets whose daughter Hannah married Samuel Redlon, and their son is author of the book from which this is quoted.
[See pages 614-617; History of the Ancient Ryedales and Allied Families" by GT Ridlon.
Glowing reports from neighbors and friends who had settled in Ohio moved the hearts of Abraham and his family to emigrate there. A team of fine broad horses was purchased in Haverhill, Mass. Old Mr. Tibbets made the harness. The wife, assisted by Patience, her daughter, made clothes for the children. Mattias, father of Abraham and Thomas, made the wagon for the long trip. When all was ready, the family went down to Moderation Falls and spent the last night with the aged parents. Early the next morning relatives and neighbors came to old Mattias Redlon's to see Abraham and his family before they left. It was a sad scene. Aged parents and relatives looked upon their kindred for the last time on this earth. They parted amid tears and sobs.
The pioneers left ~New England in "flax-bloom time", which was June, and did not reach their destination until "roast-ear time", which was September. When they reached western Virginia (all west of the Allegheny was at that time called Ohio County, Virginia), they had to stop to rest their horses for several weeks. There in a Dutch settlement the women spun linen to pay for their board and horse keeping, and the men threshed grain. The journey on to Ohio was pleasant. The men drove by day and wrestled to test their strength by eve. The women knitted along the trail by day and cooked by camp fire at night. Women and children slept in wagons while the men took turns watching the horses. On Redstone Creek the company tarried and built flatboats on which to transport their household goods to Cincinnati. They lived the balance of the winter in cabins and subsisted on a few bushels of meal, wild turkey and venison. It was a hard winter and they suffered many hardships during which time Abraham and his sons made fence-rails with which they had the understanding they were to pay for the land.
The New England families built a church in the settlement and in the year 1801-02 witnessed a great revival of the General Baptist Church.
Mr. Redlon died in Decatur County, Indiana, in the home of his son, Stephen, October 9, 1852, at the age of 89 years. He had twelve children. No word was heard of their friends and relatives in New England for more than 70 years until work of collecting material for the book from which this is quoted was obtained through means of advertisements published in western newspapers opened correspondence with the family.
