Notes:

Name:
The line of Abraham Ambler is hazy due perhaps to the destruction many years ago of valuable Westchester County land records, and of the records of North Castle and Pound Ridge.

No trace of Abraham Ambler is found after the deed of 4 Dec., 1750, but he was dead by 25 Nov., 1771, as is shown by a deed given by his son Samuel Ambler on that date. Abigail Ambler appears on first List of Bedford Congregational Church, 1737-43.

Abraham married Abigail CLASON on 04 Apr 1717 in Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. Abigail (daughter of Samuel CLAWSON and Hannah DUNHAM) was born about 1697. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
