         A. W. ABBOTT (deceased) was born in Leveret, Conn., in 1808,
     where he lived until twenty-one years of age.  He learned the tanner
     and currier's trade, which he worked at one year in Connecticut and
     four years in Ohio.  In June, 1833, he came to Lapeer and took up 120
     acres of government land, upon which his family still resides.  After
     coming to Lapeer, he for a time worked at his trade, but gave more of
     his time to shoemaking, being the first to engage in that trade in
     this section.  He was married in 1836 to Miss MARTHA L. WHITE, of
     South Hadley, Mass., at Lapeer, theirs being among the first weddings
     celebrated in the vicinity.  His death occurred in 1873, his widow,
     two sons and two daughters survive him.
