ABRAHAM3 (Abraham1, Richard2) of Concord, Mass., was born June 4, 1652, in Charlestown, Mass. He married Dec. 4, 1673, Deborah Hadlocke, daughter of John (died 1675). He was made freeman by the General Court, March 21, 1690. He is mentioned in a warrant of impressment as an able bodied soldier, March 10, 1675. He served as a soldier in King Philip's war. He was one of a thousand men who mustered on Dedham plain, Dec. 9, 1675, and marched for Narragansett Fort, the stronghold of King Philip, situated on an island in a swamp in what is now South Kingston, RI. Abraham was wounded in the attack upon this fort. June 24, 1675, he received two pounds and two shillings for earlier services in the same war. In 1735 he, among others, received a grant of land (known as a Narragansett grant) as a recognition of services rendered the Commonwealth in King Philip's war.
