History of Norwich, Connecticut
1. Caleb Abell married in July, 1669, Margaret, daughter of John
Post. They had eleven children. The wife died in 1700, and Mr. Abell
married Mary, relict of Stephen Loomer.
He was chosen constable in 1684; townsman in 1689, and often
afterwards; appointed to keep tavern in 1694; enrolled among the
dignitaries with his military title, "Sargent Calib Abel," in 1702 ;
died Aug. 7, 1731, leaving wife Mary, and nine children.
Enough of the broken head-stone of his grave remains to show that he
was in the 85th year of his age.
Of the six sons of Caleb and Margaret Abell, the first three on the
list, Samuel, Caleb and John, married sisters, Elizabeth, Abigail and
Rebecca Sluman, daughters of Thomas Sluman and Mary Bliss.
Samuel, the oldest son, born in 1672, was a physician. In 1708, and
again in a list of land-owners in 1726, he appears with the prefix of
his profession. We assign him to the third place in the list of
Norwich physicians whose names have been recovered. Though cotemporary
with Dr. Caleb Bushnell, he was a few years senior in age.
Theophilus, the fourth son, died on the last day of August, 1724, aged
44. This was before his father's decease. He left a wife and two
daughters. His library seems to intimate that he was a religious
teacher. It consisted of about thirty volumes, and among them were the
following:
A Bible with silver clasps.
Wise's Church Quarrels.
Doolittle on the Lord's Supper.
Henry's Communicant's Companion.
Robert Russell's Seven Sermons.
Dr. Mather on Angels ; do. on Resignation to the Will of God.
Memorial on Milk for Babes.
Cotton Mather's Day of Rain.
Stoddard on Saving Conversion.
Dr. Mather's Now or Never.
Bunyan's Forsaken Sinner.
Do. Solomon's Temple Spiritualized.
Wadsworth's Guide to the Doubting.
Dr. Mather's Ecclesiastical Councils.
Pierpont's False Hope. Henry Gearing.
Burrough's Preparation for Judgment.
Stoddard's Guide to Christ.
Flavel's Husbandry Spiritualized.
Sundry old books.
No single book, except the Bible, was valued over 2s. 6d.

History of New London, Connecticut
George Miller, died in 1690.
This person had been a resident, east of the river, (in Groton,) from
the year 1679, and perhaps longer. He left four daughters, Mary, wife
of Stephen Loomer; Elizabeth, second wife of Edward Stallion; Sarah,
second wife of the second John Packer, and Priscilla, then unmarried.
...
Stephen Loomer, died in 1700.
This name is not found in New London before 1687. Mr. Loomer's wife
was a daughter of George Miller. His children, and their ages at the
time of his death, were as follows: John, sixteen ; Mary, thirteen;
Martha, eleven; Samuel, eight; Elizabeth, five. In following out the
fortunes of the family, we find that John, the oldest son, was a
seaman, and probably perished by storm or wreck, as in 1715, he had
not been heard from for several years. Mary, relict of Stephen Loomer,
married in 1701, Caleb Abel, of Norwich, and this carried the
remainder of the family to that place.

One Branch of the Booth Family
The first mention of a member of the Abell family, of which we have
any record, is Robert Abell, of Weymouth, who probably came in the
fleet with Winthrop in 1630. He removed to Rehoboth in 1643, and died
there June 20, 1663, leaving a widow, Joanna, and seven children;
Mary, who was born April 11, 1642, was one of them, and Lieut.
Preserved Abell, of Rehoboth, was doubtless another. It seems to the
writer reasonable to suppose that Caleb Abell, who appears at Norwich
in 1668, was also a son of Robert's. The petition addressed to the
General Court, which was drawn up at Dedham in 1665, shows that
Caleb's name was fourth among about seventy signers, and as social
rank and precedence were as closely observed in early colonial days as
they had been in England, it is very unlikely that a youth who was
only eighteen would be allowed to put his signature so near the head
of the list unless he was the son of a man who was well-known and
highly esteemed in the community. In the Hyde Genealogy it is stated
that nothing is known of William Hyde's wife, but that she probably
died in Hartford or Saybrook, and there is no mention of a second one,
but on page 3 of Arnold's Vital Records of Rehoboth, under the heading
Marriages and Intentions, we find the following entry, "Joanna Abell
and William Hyde, of New Norwich, June 4, 1667," which seems to show
that William Hyde married Robert Abell's widow as his second wife.
When Caleb Abell appears at Norwich in 1668, he was barely of age, but
he was at once made welcome and received into the families of the
original proprietors, (Caulkins' Norwich, page 209), and permitted to
marry into one of them within a year. In view of the manners and
customs of those days it is difficult to explain this, unless we
accept the theory that his mother was already there as the wife of one
who was prominent among the original proprietors. After the father had
died, it would be quite natural for the three unmarried sons, Caleb,
Benjamin and Joshua, and the daughter Experience, to follow their
mother as they seem to have done. Preserved Abell had received the
house and land as his share of his father's estate, and had married
Martha Redaway, in Rehoboth, Sept. 27, 1667, thus establishing home
ties which would keep him in Rehoboth. The writer, in his efforts to
establish this supposed relationship between Robert and Caleb Abell,
has had the aid of Mr. George S. Porter, of Norwich, and Mr. James N.
Arnold, of Providence, both of whom are authorities in their
respective fields, but neither one was able to find anything in the
Norwich or Rehoboth records which would throw any light upon the
subject. In both places the records are very imperfect, and in
Rehoboth the Church records, previous to 1720, are lost. In view of
the fact, however, that Robert was the only emigrant settler of that
name of which we have any knowledge, added to the fact that there is
no evidence against the theory, the probability that Caleb, Benjamin
and Joshua were sons of Robert seems very strong. Experience Abell,
who married Dea. John Baldwin, was also, probably, his daughter. The
Register of Probate in Plymoth, in answer to my inquiry regarding the
settlement of Robert Abell’s estate, wrote me as follows : “His widow,
Joanna Abell, administered on the estate and gave bond as such
administratrix in 1664. An interesting seal with a coat of arms is
attached to the bond at the right of her name, but whether it belonged
to her family or not, I cannot say.”
…
Mr. George S. Porter, previously referred to in Note 2, was engaged to
examine the Norwich records to determine, if possible, the parentage
of Experience (Wood) Abell, and reported as follows : “I have given
the ancestry of Experience Abell, wife of Thomas Wood, a great deal of
time and attention, and while it is impossible to give you record
proof I am convinced that she was the daughter of Benjamin Abell. He
was in Norwich as early as 1670, but there is no record of his
marriage, death, the name of his wife, or the names of his children.
As the Norwich probate records do not begin until 1748, I went to New
London and examined the probate records there where Norwich Estates
were previously settled, but could find no trace of Benjamin's name
nor of his wife and children. I then searched the records of the old
New London county court, which, before the establishment of probate
courts, appears to have done a miscellaneous business of civil,
criminal, and probate. These records are all in manuscript, are much
faded and torn, and are written in the most difficult handwriting to
decipher that I think I have ever seen. The volumes are unindexed and
the pages are unnumbered. I found that in a court held in New London,
June 6, 1699, the inventory of the estate of Benjamin Abell, of
Norwich, deceased, was exhibited, was proved, accepted and ordered to
be recorded. The court granted administration to the widow, and also
distributed to the widow one-third part of the movable estate for
ever, and one-third part of the real estate during her natural life;
to son Benjamin a double portion at twenty-one, and to six daughters
at eighteen or days of marriage. By request of the widow, Joshua Abell
and John Baldwin were appointed overseers. In this court record the
name of the widow does not appear, nor do those of the six daughters.
The records appear to be first rough drafts of what was to appear in
more detailed form in other books, although, in some cases, they are
given at some length. Where these supplemental books are today, if
they ever existed, is unknown. We think ourselves fortunate that even
so much remains. I regret exceedingly that I can find no record proof
of Mrs. Experience (Abell) Wood's parentage, but it does not exist in
any known record to-day. Personally, with the evidence adduced, I am
satisfied that she was a daughter of Benjamin Abell by his unknown
wife.” As the foregoing report makes no mention of any examination of
deeds or wills, Mr. Porter was engaged a little later by another
descendant of the Abells to see what could be found among them, and
the result was published by W. B. H. S. in the Boston Transcript of
March 18, 1907,: “It does not solve the difficulties about the
parentage of Experience and Lydia Abell, but it makes some other
things certain heretofore in doubt. First, that Benjamin and Caleb
Abell were brothers. Benjamin, son of Benjamin, refers to his Uncle
Caleb in a deed bearing the date Dec. 8, 1709. Again it appears that
the lands of Joshua, Caleb, and Benjamin adjoined. Second, the
inventory of Benjamin, Sr.'s estate was recorded June 6, 1699.
Benjamin, Jr., was allowed a double portion to be set out to him at
the age of twenty-one. The widow was appointed administratrix. Mr.
Porter now finds that the administratrix in November, 1712, caused his
share to be recorded to him, thus making him born about 1691, and he
finds that as administratrix the widow signed herself Hannah Caulkins.
Thus we have her Christian name of Hannah. With Mr. Porter I feel
certain that Lydia (Abell) Williams and Experience (Abell) Wood were
children of Benjamin and Hannah Abell.”
