This Amos cannot be the father of the Abel that is attached because this Amos died before Abel was born. The Amos that is the father of the attached Able was born in 1738 (exact date not known in the Robert Burrow Genealogy Book, Pg 497). I will put the children of this Amos in the biography with birth dates.
