CHARLES ABBOTT
CHARLES ABBOTT, farmer, P.O. Georgetown, is the
son of the earliest pioneers of Brown County, John
Abbott, who was a native of New York, of "English
ancestry, and came to this county toward the close of
the last century. The wife of John Abbott was Hannah
Reynolds, also of New York. Charles was born in this
county July 15, 1809, and has always resided within its
bounds. His school days extended back to the times
when the instruction only rudimentary, and even this
not regular, and the buildings in which the schools were
held of the rudest description. Mr. Abbott applied his
energies to farm work, and has made it a decided
success. The farm he occupies and owns in the
northeast part of the township, consists of 166 acres. By
careful management he has preserved the fertility of the
virgin soil, and now raises large crops. His farm was the
seat of the first court, and he remembers the term of
court held there, when he was a boy of nine or ten
years. He recollects that hewas attracted by the
unwanted occurrence and creeped up to the rude log
structure and peered in seeing the attorneys engaged in
writing and loud confab, a scene very impressive to the
backwoods boy. Mr. Abbott is a man of positive mind
and resolute purpose. His politics are Democratic. In
1830, he married Sarah Brown, and by this marriage
had three children. His son, E. C., is married and leading
and agricultural life in this township. Another son, Lewis,
also married, is farming in Union Township. The wife of
Charles Abbott died in 1856, and, in 1865, re-united in
wedlock by his marriage to Mrs. Arnhart where maiden
name was Frankie Winters. Himself and wife are members
pf the Christian Church.
