Abial was the oldest of six children born to Zophar Deane and Deborah Robbins. On November 27, 1845 he married Eunice Murray in Abington, Massachusetts. Eunice was born in Leeds, and was the daughter of Amos and Mary (Sampson) Murray.
Abial, like a large number of Leeds young adults, moved to Massachusetts to look for work. And like many, Abial took work in the shoe-manufacturing industry. Abington, Massachusetts, in particular was a major center of shoe-making.
Abial and Eunice had two known children, both of whom died in childhood. Amelia Adelaide, born June 27, 1848, died on August 12, 1849 of cholera. George Z. Deane was born in 1853 and died on September 11, 1855 of dysentery.
In the 1860 census this couple lived in Weymouth, Massachusetts, and by the 1880 census they had returned to nearby Turner, Maine, where Abial worked as a farmer. Eunice died before 1880, though no record of her death or grave was found. In 1880 Abial still lived Turner, and was listed as a widower.
On November 14, 1884 Abial remarried to Julia A. Woodman of Leeds. The couple lived in Leeds. In the early 1900s, Abial and Julia spent about six weeks during the winter months living at the Leeds "town farm" (aka poor farm). They had no surviving children to help support them.
Julia died on September 6, 1911. Her death record said she was to be buried in North Leeds. There is no marked grave for her.
