looking for any link to an
Abel Hallowell who lived in norristown pa. in 1850. I have a copy of a letter written by a grandson of
Eli hallowell named
Boyle Irwin who copied the names from the family bible which lists numerous siblings of his grandfather.named as follows: Charles,
Enos, Margaret, Edward,
Eli,
Hannah,
Abel(died as infant),Jane, John, George,
Abel and James. 1850 census lists him as a barber with wife Mary and children: James, Edward, Maria and Charles. 1860 census adds another child named
Abel. I am trying to research the parents of
Abel and
Eli Hallowell and siblings.
