In Reply to: Capt. Robert Abell of Maryland by Laurie Schmidt of 814

This is what I found in a book titled,"The Abell Family in America" by H.A.and L.P. Abell. Published by The Tuttle Publishing Company, Inc. Rutland, Vermont

Pg. 15
"The second Abell immigration of record appears to be Captain Robert Abell (Appendix J) who came to south Maryland from England prior to 1649. The christian names of his immediate descendants would indicate that he and Robert Abell of Weymouth, the first immigrant, were of the same English ancestry, the Derbyshire branch. It appears that Captain Robert returned to England after settling some or all of his children in the colony. Much study indicates that his sons were Richard, Samuel, and probably Cuthbert, James, and William. Captain Robert's descendants began to migrate in about Revolutionary times to virginia, Kentucky, and thence in general to the south and southwest."

Appendix J, pg. 290 - 306

I have written only the part about Captain Robert's son, Samuel.

pg.292
"4. Samuel Abell I; it is certain that Samuel Abell I, who died testate in St. Mary's County in 1698, was an ancester. As there is no sign of his coming into the Colony, he must have been born there, or brought in as a child, by his father, and probably Captain Robert Abell's son. He leaves to "my son John my Lord's Manor and 120 acres all on other side of Napkin's Run, to my son Samuel my dwelling plantation on this side of Napkin Run, and the remainder of my estate, real and personal to my wife Ann, and appoint her my executrix." Witnesses: Edward Cole and Luke Gardiner. The maiden name of Ann cannot be discovered but suspect it was Gardiner. Children:
6. John
7. Samuel II
Robert (probably) "

If you want any more information from this book, please let me know. As with all information, I personally do not guarantee any of this but leave it to you to decide what to do about it. Good luck in your endeavor.
Sincerely,
Audrey

P.S. The numbers in front of the names indicate there is more information about them within the book.
