revolutionary war soldier


Today's find on Ancestry: Abel Estabrook, 1748–1824, my 4th cousin 7x removed. He was among the men who attacked the HMS Gaspee, one of the events that led to the Revolution. He fought with Reed's Regiment (NH) during the Revolutionary War. After the war he and his wife Ruth moved to VT and he is buried in the South Hill Cemetery in Ludlow, VT. I actually hiked this cemetery many times on vacation two summers ago, not knowing Abel was somewhere nearby.
