Biography

^[1]

Abijah 5 Chandler (Daniel-4; Joseph-3; John - 2; William-1) and Sabra Mann, Nicholville, St. Lawrence, Co., N.Y.

Sabra died 19 June 1837, in her 75th year, and was buried in Nicholville. Abijah and his brother Daniel took goods and carried them to Lebanon, N.H. and traded at the outlet of Enfield Pond. But they were not successful. In 1791 he was taxed in Lebanon, £1:10:6. He left Lebanon in 1806, and went to St. Lawrence County and Mrs. Chandler was the first white woman in what is now Hopkinton, N.Y. He bought land two miles east of Nicholville, on the Malone road, and built a house on the south side and kept a tavern there. Danforth Ellithrop lived in the same house in 1863. This house is about one mile east of Nicholville. Abijah worked at the stone mason business, which he probably learned of his father, and he built the stone gristmill in Nicholville on the east branch of St. Regis. He was a justice of the peace and tried causes. He was one of the original members of the Baptist Society formed in Hopkinton 17 Feb 1818, and was a trustee thereof. This church was removed to Nicholville. He died 4 Nov 1830, in his 67th year.^[2]

Abijah is probably the Unnamed Chandler who was born April 1763 in Landaff, Grafton, New Hampshire.^[3]
