According to Henry Cook Waters' research notes, Benjamin King sold part of his 320 acres to Abraham Preble (1784-1863) about 1811 when Abraham married Mary "Polly" Hatch from Pittston. They proceeded to build a house and barns and raised their family of three daughters, Nancy, Lorenda and Sabra; and two sons, Abraham and Davis.
A family genealogy shows that, besides 3 children who died in infancy, 5 other children were born (no death dates or burials in the family cemetery): Olive C. in 1812; Galen O. in 1815; Austin D. in 1817; Sabra A. in 1829; and Paul E. in 1831.
