    William, eldest son of the emigrant William, was first married in 1745 to Elizabeth Reneuff, by whom he was the father of William, Elizabeth, Woodward, Mary, Tabitha, and at least one other son, who died in infancy, Records indicate that he left no issue by his second wife Jeanna Trow, whom he married in 1764 at Boston, mass., but this is not certain.

    One Ralph Abrams, who was probably a member of the last mentioned family, is said to have been living in Charlestown, Mass., before 1773 and to have dj-ed at Boston in 1827 at eiglaty years of age, which would make his date of birth 1747, but the names of his parents have not been determined.
    One John Abrams or Abram, whose connection,, if any, with the above mentioned family is not known, is said by some authorities to have been a Jew and to have been accompanied to New England at an early date by a brother named William, but most of this information seems to be based on family tradition and cannot be definitely stated.
