Married June 12, 1784 to Roena (Rosanna) Pferching, born in Pennsylvania October 15, 1760, died October 13, 1833. In the fall of 1799, soon after the death of his father, Abraham came with his mother, sisters and other relatives to Ross County, Ohio. He settled on the west bank of the Scioto River at the mouth of Kinnikinnick Creek. There he built a sawmill and a carding and fulling machine previous to 1812. this was one of the first sawmills built in that part of Ohio; it was destroyed by fire in 1812. When rebuilt, the fulling and carding
machines were continued until 1837, but the sawmill was continued for several years afterward. Abraham also entered several other parcels of land on of Kinniekinnick and Bull creeks in Colerain Twp. In 1802 he moved to a large tract of land on Kinnikinnick Creek where he lived until 1883 [a mistakenly written date - deed dated 1 July 1836, Vol. 32, pg. 418], he then sold it to Maxwells who own it still [ca. 1948]. He also bought land from his sister, Catherine Meiers, after her husband's death, where he made his home until his death. In 1837 he
divided his estate with his children, giving his daughter, Anna Susan, (Susanna) 207 acres because she had no husband to support her and her son, William. Abraham died in 1840 and is buried with others of the Eyestone family in the Salem German Reformed Churchyard near Kingston, Ross Co. Ohio. There were eight children, as follows:-
