And this is from D. Hudson......
I noticed you had a mention of 31. John Abbey (not on list) is because he was not 31. I have attached his list for his parents and his siblings and then his 112. ID from the Abbe Genealogy book.
Abbe-Abbey Genealogy, In Memory of John Abbe and his Descendants page 34 states: 44. Ebenezer Abbe, Jr,: son of Ebenezer and Mary (Allen) Abbe, born July 27, 1708 resided in Windham or North Windham, Conn.
Married February 22, 1729-30, ABIGAIL CARY, probably daughter of Joseph Cary, Jr.
One account gives her name Abigail Soale and still another says she was Abigail Goodale, daughter of Isaac Goodale of Salem. (((So Since, we are not sure whom it is, I have not put a wife except for Abigail Cary for the following children and such.))) Debe Hudson, descendant of John Abbe.
Children, baptized at Windham:
Mary Abbe, b. March 26, 1731.
110 Isaac Abbe, b. July 25, 1733; m. Eunice Church.
Ezekiel Abbe, bapt. at Windham, July 27, 1735.

Abner Abbe, b. Aug. 26, 1737. This is probably the Abner Abbe who enlisted June 8, 1756, in 2d Regiment, 3d Company, Major Jehosaphat Starr; d. or was captured Sept. 19, 1756.
Ebenezer Abbe, 3d, b. June 10, 1739. Perhaps the Ebenezer Abbe in Captain Benjamin Whitney's Company at Guilford and other parts of Windham County, 1783-4.
