IGI, The IGI records that I found show that Eliza Jane was married to AUGUSTUS on July 10, 1864, (showing he was b. 20 Nov 1839, Civil Portland, Cumberland, ME.) but I'd sooner think this was Andrew A. Abbott whom she married at this time.I'll have to go back and find the IGI and question the writer. 1870 Census - Cumberland, ME, Andrew Abbott m. to Eliza Jane, then in 1900 married to Maggie. He was 32, married and living with Eliza J., Ida M., Alice, and a one year old son.Also, record of birth for first born, Ida May Abbott, was on Feb 26, 1865, in Falmouth, Father: Andrew A. Abbott, b. Poland, Residence: Falmouth, Occupation: Farmer; Mother: Eliza J. Abbott, birthplace: Portland, occupation: Housewife.According to family lore, Eliza J. was b. 1845, but death record indicates 1848.Perley M. Leighton's book, b. Falmouth 20 May 1845; m. Augustus Abbott and William Berry. Eliza d. at Portland 24, Jan. 1923, 75 y. 8m, 4 d. (More proof she was born in 1848).
