"...list of the army of the Revolution..."; "Subordinate Officers, Musicians, and Privates" in History of Stonington.^[5]

He served in the Militia under Captain Joseph Morgan of Groton.^[6]

Death

After looking through the 1790, 1800, 1810 and 1820 US Census Records, with the limited amount of information available on each, I was able to locate Abel within pages of his father and his brother-in-law Lester Wheeler, he was not found in the 1830 US Census, so it is presumed that he died sometime after 1820, or the 1830 US Census has been lost for the area or it hasn't been transcribed online as of 27 Jul 2018.^{[7][8][9][10]}
