Richard and Dolly Abby of Cazenovia made land transfers, recorded in Chenango County, N. Y., under dates of April 15, 1799, August 12, 1799 and November 11, 1800.

He also resided in Canandaigua and Rochester, N. Y., in Norwich, Conn., and near Meadville, Pa., about 1812. He is said to have been a commissioned officer in the War of 1812, and was wounded at the Battle of Lundy 's Lane.

Richard Abbey died in Alexander County, Illinois. I suggest stating that the place of burial is unknown, though probably in Alexander County. Also, a biography of his son Richard, Jr., in Biological and Historical Memoirs of Mississippi states his year of death is 1821. I think perhaps his son Richard knew better than Cleveland Abbey's respondents in the early 1900s. This son was on his own in 1821, at age 15, so he probably set off after his father died.
