Conclusions

How many Abrahams? The 1831 History of Scituate claims two men. Savage in 1860 treats it as two men and may have copied the information from the History of Scituate. The 1909 Sutliff History treats it as three persons but attaches no provable records to the first and barely mentions the third. In the Scituate Town records and Plymouth Colony records, Jr/Sr, or Elder/younger are never mentioned, so there was probably only one adult Abraham at any given time in early Scituate, Plymouth Colony.

• Abraham "1" (b. 1574, near Halifax, Yorkshire; d. 1623 Plymouth) - Information from the "Sutliff History": after birth of ch. to Plymouth 1623, then settled in Scituate (c. 1633) with original settlers. " they divided all the land on the third cliff, giving to each head of a family but one allotment of a small tract of land. Abraham, Sr., nevertheless, received at least two allotments on this cliff — probably through the influence of Dean Matthew Sutcliffe [allegedly his uncle], who owned all the land in the vicinity. These two allotments Abraham, Sr., afterwards sold to two different persons. He lived for quite a period of time at Plymouth, Mass., after coming to the New World, but afterward moved to Scituate with his family, where he is supposed to have died."Child Abraham & possibly others
  • Arrival in 1623? NO! There was no Abraham Sutlief in Plymouth in 1623. The 1627 cattle division would have named him and any children he had with him.
  • First settler of Scituate 1636? NO! a map of the early settlers lots c. 1636 does not list him He is not recognized by the [Scituate Historical Society.
  • 1640? The history of Scituate says: "Abraham Sutliffe sold lands in Scituate to Thomas Ingham 1640: also to John Scockbridge, "north-east of the Mill." If Abraham was in Scituate in 1640, I can't prove it. There is no record of his selling Thomas Ingham land until 1699, stating at that time Ingham "bought from Sutliffe some time in the past" I believe it to have been 5 of the 25 acres Sutliff bought of Thomas Pinson Sr. 1 May 1689, since Sutliff only owned twenty acres when he later disposed of the land.
  • 1647? Probably not. There are no Sutliffs on the lists of taxable persons in 1647, although he might have been there without property.

• I think it's safe to eliminate the presence of the Abraham "1" in New England.

These records could easily be applied to one man (with wives Sarah and Anne) born say 1635 (age 21 when he was a constable in 1656) and died shortly after his 1712 agreement at age 77. Except that Abraham sold 6 acres on Hoop pole hill that he had by right of inheritance. This six acres was laid out in 1692 as "six acres granted to him by the former Commitee and laid out by theire Surveyers but not Returned the bounds thereof being renewed and Returned ..."

The Abraham husband of Sarah died before 9 January 1698/9. Abraham sold to Philip Turner six acres he had by inheritance.(Deeds 3: 133) This was land laid out to Abraham in 1692 (TR1 p. 450) This doesn't mean that Abraham h/o Sarah was still alive, because sometimes grants were given long before land was laid out. He died after 1672. Richardene Chambers will mention Abraham and Sarah wife of Abraham.^[4]
