Abiel Haws

Birth: 7 Dec 1740, Wrentham, Norfolk, MA

• Wrentham Vital Records

Death: 25 Oct 1765, Westborough, Worcester, MA

• Westborough Vital Records

Burial: Memorial Cemetery, Westborough, MA

• Headstone record (taken by Roderick B. Sullivan, Jr.)

Spouse: Moses Wheelock
Marriage: 13 Jan 1763, Wrentham, Norfolk, MA

• Wrentham Vital Records

1. Ephraim Wheelock, born 25 Mar 1764, Westborough, Worcester, MA
2. Abigail Wheelock, born 10 Aug 1765, Westborough, Worcester, MA

Notes:

Abiel died at the very young age of 25. Her headstone, in the Memorial Cemetery, center of Westborough, MA, is barely readable (as of 1998), and lies next to Moses Wheelock and Lydia Bond. Abiel came from a very prominent family in Wrentham. It is very likely that Abiel Haws was the brother of Dr. James Haws, the first doctor in Westboro, also from Wrentham. The Wrentham Vital records confirm that Abiel had a brother named James.

• 1850 Federal Census, Vienna, Oneida Co, NY

Spouse: Asenath Bill
Marriage:

• "North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000", citing "History of the Bill Family", editted by Ledyard Bill, pg 201, online at www.ancestry.com, retrieved Dec 2017.

Spouse: Hannah (--?--)
Marriage:

• 1855 New York Status Census, Vienna, Oneida Co, NY

Notes:

Obadiah Wheelock, age 59, is enumerated in the 1850 Census, living in Vienna, Oneida Co, NY. He is living with his wife, Asenath, age 66, Charles Reed, age 11, and Salina Reed, age 12. The latter are probably relations from her previous marriage to Archer Reed.

He's enumerated in the 1855 NY State Census living in Vienna, with his wife, Hannah, age 50, born in Herkimer, NY.

This is probably the Obadiah (indexed under Aiah on Ancestry.com) living in Vienna in the 1860 Census, with wife Hannah.

He's enumerated in the 1865 NY State Census living in Vienna, age 73, with wife Hannah, age 62, and Matilda Allen, servant, age 19. Both Obadiah and Hannah listed as married twice.

He may be listed in the 1870 Census, in Vienna, with wife Hannah, though the ages are wrong (69 and 66).

Neither he nor his wife is found in the 1880 census.

Obadiah Wheelock of Vienna and his wife Hannah engaged in land transactions with Samuel Wheelock of Floyd. On 28 Oct 1857 Obadiah transferred land to Hannah, in the presence of Samuel Wheelock, of Floyd, who signed the deed.¹. On this basis, Obadiah is presumed to be Samuel's brother. The names and dates fit.
