Son of Silas and Eunice Miller Losey.
Married Anna Hopkins on January 9, 1838 in Geauga County in a ceremony performed by Elihu Booth, a Justice.
Abner's occupation was likely a blacksmith, following in the footsteps of his father, Silas, who was the first blacksmith in now extinct Tyron [near present Pittsford NY] before 1800. It is possible Silas learned his trade in his native New Jersey.
According to Painesville Telegraph, Abner was 82 years old when he died on April 1, 1848. I believe this was an error; Abner's actual age was likely 32. When his stone was re-set into its base, his age was cut in half at the ground. To the casual eye, the top half looks like part of "22" but upon a closer look, it raises a strong possibility that it is actually part of "32".
