Abraham Blackman Sr. is the Great-Great Grandson of Richard Warren, a Mayflower Compact Signer and Passenger. He is the son of Joseph Blackman and Elizabeth Church, who are 3rd-Generation Mayflower Descendants.
Abraham Blackman went with his family to Newtown, CT in 1710 and then to Lebanon, CT in 1717; and onto Hebron, CT in 1736. Some of the family's headstones have the spelling of Blackman as Blackmun.
Abraham Blackman married Elizabeth Whitaker Cir. 1732 - 1735, probably in Lebanon, CT. They had 3 children all born in Hebron, CT - 2 sons: Samuel b. 24 Nov 1736 and Abraham Jr b. Cir. 1737, plus 1 daughter, Elizabeth, b. 31 Aug 1738 and d. 23 Oct 1739, living only about 14 months. Sometime probably in 1738, Elizabeth died in Hebron, CT perhaps from complications due to the birth of daughter, Elizabeth.
Note: Samuel Whitaker (1699-1719) and wife, Mary Squire (1679-1717) had a daughter, Elizabeth b. 8 Apr 1705 in Rehoboth, MA. She married Benjamin Peck on 23 Jun 1733 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co., MA and died there 21 Jan 1747. Although many people believe it to be true, there are no documents to support that this particular Elizabeth Whitaker is the first wife of Abraham Blackman Sr. However, Samuel's niece, Elizabeth b. 30 Sep 1708 in Rehoboth, MA to his brother, John Whitaker and his wife, Mehitabel Peck is the first wife of Abraham Blackman, Sr. (All events & corresponding dates are recorded in the Vital Records of Rehoboth, MA.)
After the death of Elizabeth, Abraham (it seems) then somewhat quickly married Abigail Sims. They had 6 children all born in Hebron, Tolland Co., CT: 3 daughters - Abigail b. 20 Jan 1741/2; Elizabeth born 5 Jan 1753; and daughter, Martha b. Cir. 1756; 3 sons - William b. 30 Oct 1745; Eleazar b. 6 Aug 1750; and Daniel b. Cir. 1758.
