From the book published in 1916 "Abbe -Abbey Genealogy In Memory of John Abbe and his Descendants" by Cleveland Abbe and Joseph Genung Nichols
SARAH (or SALLY) ABBEY, daughter of Jonathan Abbey, 3d, and Mrs. Lucy (Knox) Robbins, born August 1, 1784, in Ashford, Conn.; recorded there; died in Masonville, N. Y., 1829.
Most of her married life was spent in or near Guilford, N. Y., but in her last years she removed to Masonville. There are extant several of her letters to her children, now in the possession of Mrs. Dora Walker, Mrs. Josiah Still and Mr. Edwin W. Burch. They are wonderful letters in point of the extreme poverty that seems to have been her lot, and yet the fortitude and Christian hope in which she lived are no less wonderful. Some of her older children had gone out to Chautauqua County, a son had established himself there and some of his sisters had gone out there to work in the families of former neighbors who had moved to near Westfield.
Married JOHN BROWN. He died in 1827 or 1828. A family tradition says he was lost at sea.
Children, believed to be a complete list, although dates of birth are not known, and order is uncertain
1 - Lucy Brown, b. early in 1804 ; d. 1822 ; not m.
2 - Hannah Maria Brown, d. in 1839
3 - Jonathan Brown, b. Feb. 8, 1805
4 - David Brown, m. Sarah Brown
