ABBOTT
Elder S., Squire, d Dec 20, 1852, 82y 6m Was a Baptist minister who came from Astabula Co. Ohio in 1825 and in 1828 according to the history of the Baptist Church of Lorain followed A. Campbell's beliefs/desciples is another name according to an un recorded author in Western Reserve Historical collection he had 13 children and I believe later returned to the Baptist faith. 3 of his sons married 3 of Ruluf and Azubah Andress/Andrus Daughters Sarah Manerva, widow of Festus Powers, married Justin Abbott, Lucina married Orlan Abbott, and Evelin Charlott married Eli Abbott I have extended down lines for all three of these from Susan Quintana who is a decendent of Lucina . (See Photo of grave stone)
SEE ALSO Squire Abbott, was originally from Massachusetts, but removed to New York at an early day. He was a Baptist minister, and in the pioneer times was sent out as a missionary by the Baptist board, going from New York to Ohio on horseback. In 1820 he located in Ashtabula county, and five years later moved to Henrietta township, Lorain county, where he died December 18, 1853, aged eighty-three years.

There is a new Stone next to the old one very nice
Carlo, d Nov 8, 1870, 66y 2d
Born 6 Nov 1804 the family is living in Essex Co. New York in the Aud Mt. Carlo first marries a Nancy Buckley 1 Mar 1832 Nancy born 10 May 1812 could be a daughter of Medad although I have no proof as of yet. His next wife Welthy Smith whom he marries on 4 Dec 1851 in Oberlin, Lorain, Ohio
Nancy, wife of Carlo, d Aug 25, 1851, 39y 2m 25d (nee BUCKLEY)
Wealthy SMITH, wife Carlo, Aug 16, 1815-Apr 24, 1871
info shows her being born in Pouhkeepsie or Messina but does not list state
Ruloff, Mar 12, 1773-1849
As of yet there are many theorys on who Ruloff was and where he comes from none of which have been proven in my mind. We first see our Ruloff in 1795 in a tax list of Rutland Co. Vt. I only have reports of this I have not seen it at this time. The next time that I see him is in the 1800 Census of Poltney he moves shortley after this to Essex Co. New York where he lives untill the 1817 when he moves on to Brownhelm Huron Co. Ohio in 1824 Lorain Co is formed and in 1827 they take the last 3 tiers of Brownhelm and add some land South to it and Form Henrietta. Many of the people in this cemetary come from Vt to Essex to Ohio.I believe after concederable research that Ruluf was born not in Hartford Conn. But in Vermont as Almon and Harriett said.
Azubah, wife, 1777-1832, 55y 4m
What we know about her family is that she had a sister Polly who married a Uriah Hancock in 1795. She also has a brother uncle or Cousin named James who is moving with this group of famalies. She does not belong to the Azubah June line!
Almon, Apr 10, 1800-June 16, 1884
Is married 2 times had 8 known children by the first wife Emily Hancock. Remarried -------------- in ------------ and in 1850 is listed in the Warren Co Ill. Sebesquently returns to Ohio

Emily HANCOCK, wife Almon, June 5, 1801-Nov 21, 1844
Some records show her as a daughter of Uriah however she does not fit this family. Amasa or another brother of Uriah could be her father.
