• Notes

  DEA. ABEL, son of Richard Holbrook, was the first white male child born at Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York in 1653, and came to Milford, Conn., where he married Anne Merwin. Her name on the Derby records is written Hannah. He settled on the farm now known as the " Swift farm " about 1676, having received a grant of land a little before that date. He kept an ordinary (tavern) several years, and was a prominent citizen in the town. His wife Hannah died Oct. 20, 1740, aged 72, and he died May 30, 1747, in his 94th year.
