From The Learned Family, by William Law Learned, 1882  pg 45

"Abijah's wife is reputed to have been an excellent singer.  He is described in a deed of land in Killingly, executed by him, March 6, 1753, as then of Union, where all of his children except the youngest, were born.  -  In May, 1772, he removed to Coos Co., N. H. and settled in the town of Cockburn, since called Columbia, having undertaken in connection with his brother-in-law, Seth Wales, to settle these townships of land belonging to some English gentlemen; Lord Cockburn and Sir Charles Steward among them.  They succeeded in getting the settlement commenced, and thirty-two families on the ground before the breaking out of the Revolutionary War.  That put a stop to the operations.  He was chosen a member of the first revolutionary legislature, convened in New Hampshire, and on his return from its session, was taken sick and died very suddenly of pleurisy at Lancaster, at the home of Seth Wales, about forty miles from home. His son Abel came down the Connecticut river in a birch bark canoe and met the procession bearing his father's body to the grave.  He left a widow and nine children, the youngest twenty months old, living nine miles from any neighbor.  At the beginning of the Revolutionary War the scattered inhabitants of that part of the country held a consultation on the subject of breaking up the settlement and returning to Connecticut.  They finally left it to his widow to decide.  She decided to remain; but was finally persuaded by her relations in Connecticut to return thither.  She stayed there two years, and then went back to New Hampshire and died at Columbia, Sept. 10, 1807."
