Abraham Ambler was dead by 15 Nov. 1694, for on that date his father Abraham Ambler drew up a general deed of gift to Abraham Ambler: "These may certify ****that whereas my son Abraham Ambler deceased before he had any housings and land confirmed unto him and leaving one child, I Abraham Ambler of Stamford, do give grant and confirm unto my grandchild Abraham Ambler all of the particulars hereafter named as ye whole of his portion and interest in my estate viz: The house in East part of Town where he now lives" together with various other parcels of land. It is of interest to note that on 31 July 1699, Abraham Ambler as Justice, took the acknowledgment of Abraham Ambler, the grantor, as signer. "This deed of gift" was entered 22 Jan. 1699/1700, by Samuel Holly, recorder.

On 5 Aug., 1713, Administration on the estate of Abraham Ambler was granted to Jonathan Gold.
