Gideon Abbe married Keziah Walker on December 8, 1742 in Mansfield, Tolland County, Connecticut. They had two children before she passed.
He married Mary Wood on March 15, 1735, also in Mansfield. They had one son that we know about.
Gideon's last wife was Bathsheba Smith. They married in March 1747, also in Mansfield, Connecticut. We believe they had nine children together.
Gideon wrote his will in May 1779.
