        (6)  Ephraim Annable, born 31 October 1744, Rochester, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, died 11 June 1818; married about 1773 Margaret, died after 1820, Tioga, Tioga Co., New York.
        Although unproven, the best available evidence suggests that Ephraim's wife Margaret was probably Margaret Coffin, born 23 June 1756, Nantucket, Nantucket Co., Massachusetts, daughter of John Coffin and Mary Davis. During the 1760's, Ephraim and his brothers Isaac and William were living in areas of Barrington, Liverpool, Halifax and Coffin Island, in Shelbourne Co., Nova Scotia. While there, Isaac's wife, Eunice Swain died (date not known). Edwin Crowell's, The History of Barrington Township states the following: "Isaac Annable gr., was a tailor from Dartmouth, Mass. His lot was No. 49, at the town, next to John Coffin, whose daughter Margaret he married. In 1785 he sold his dwelling house to Richard Pinkham for £25....As his name is not in the 1770 census it is likely he had moved away previously." In 2007, a clerk at the Shelbourne Historical Society said of Crowell's work: "This book is not always correct but can provide some good leads." The same clerk conducted a search of the Barrington Township Records and the Nova Scotia Marriage Bonds Index and found no records of Isaac and Margaret's marriage, nor any other records referencing the Annable family. Indeed, the math suggests a marriage to Isaac was highly unlikely: for Margaret, born in 1756, to have married Isaac before he left Barrington in 1770 she would have had to do so by age 14 or earlier, making her yet a child herself and barely old enough to take care of his two other young children Abigail, born 1763, and Ephraim, born 1765—not a likely choice for a man in need of a wife and caretaker for his children. In fact, Margaret also would have needed to die or to divorce Isaac by age 16, for on July 6th, 1772, his intentions to marry Lydia Peckham Delano were published at Dartmouth, Massachusetts—no record of such a death or divorce has been found. In contrast to Isaac's circumstances, his brother Ephraim was five years closer to Margaret's age, has no record of marriage to anyone in New England states before or after his stay in Barrington; and may have been in Barrington after 1770 (his actual year of departure is not known); further Ephraim Jr. named one of his daughters Margaret. This theory needs more evidence to be considered fact.
        Ephraim first appears in New York state in the 1790 census of the Town of Saratoga, Saratoga Co.—the only Annable household in the county that year—with two males under 16, two over 16, and three females. Parents of:

        (7)  Ephraim Annable, born about August 1782, died 25 June 1842, age 59 years, 10 months; married Charlotte Anna Hall, born 25 June 1788, died 6 January 1868, age 79 years. Both are buried in Carpenter Cemetery (also known as the Barkersville Cemetery), Town of Providence, Saratoga County, with their children Elizabeth and Horace, and with Charlotte's parents and extended family.
        Ephraim and Charlotte are identifed here as the most likely parents of Abner Annable, based on census records, and naming patterns across the two families. Charlotte Hall had a paternal uncle named Abner Hall. Abner Annable's middle initial was "H." which could have stood for Hall or Hart (though he never spelled out his middle name in known records so this is conjecture). Abner named three of his children Levi, Horace and Charlotte, which match the sons and wife of Ephraim Annable of Providence, respectively. Additionally, Abner consistently reported in the post-1855 censuses of Jefferson County, New York (the only locality in which he appears by name) that he was born around 1811 in Saratoga County, New York, which fits the make-up of only Ephraim's household as demonstrated by census records:
        The 1810 census is the first in which Ephraim Annibal appears in the Town of Providence, Saratoga Co., New York; his was the only Anable household enumerated in the town that year. His father-in-law Moses Hall had settled there sometime between 1783 and 1790, suggesting the only reason Ephraim moved to Providence was so his wife could be near her family. He was reported as being between the ages of 26 to 44 (fitting his approximate age then of 28), with a woman between the ages of 16 and 25 (fitting Charlotte's approximate age of 21). There were no other people enumerated in the home that year. According to an annotated transcript of the burials at Barkersville, Ephraim and Charlotte also withdrew that same year from the First Baptist Church of Providence and joined the Second Baptist Church of Providence.
        In the 1820 census of Providence, Ephraim's was the only Anable household in the town. It included one man between 26 and 45, fitting Ephraim's age of about 38; two sons under the age of 10, fitting Horace, about 2, and fitting Abner, about 9; one woman between 26 to 45, fitting Charlotte's age of about 31; plus two girls under 10, and one between 10 and 18. One member of the house, presumably Ephraim, was occupied in manufacturing.
        In the 1830 census of Providence, Ephraim's was again the only Anable household. It included himself, about age 48, plus one boy under 5, one between 5 and 10 (fitting Levi), one 10 to 15 (fitting Horace), and one 15 to 20 (fitting Abner); also present were Charlotte, about age 41, plus one girl between 5 and 10 (fitting Elizabeth), and two other girls between 10 and 15 (fitting Lucy's age of about 14, and probably Margaret as well).
        In the 1840 census of Providence (by which time son Horace had died, and Abner would have been about 29), Ephraim Anabel was again the only one of the name in the town. His home consisted of himself, about 58, one son between 15 and 20 (fitting Levi), Charlotte, about 51, a girl between five and 10 (name not known), and another between 15 and 20 (probably Margaret). The absence of the son who would have been between ages 20 and 30 that year, the lack of a burial for such a male with Ephraim and Charlotte's other two children who had died in the prior two years, and the absence of any other Anable household in the town, suggests that this elder son had moved away—these circumstances are consistent with the appearance of Abner H. Anable in the 1840 census of the Town of LeRay, Jefferson County, New York (the first census record in which he appears under his own name), who by then had married Sally Myres of Rensselaer Co., whose uncle Richard Myers owned a successful set of mills in Deer River, Lewis County, a few miles from LeRay.
        By the time of the 1850 census of Providence, Ephraim had died; Charlotte "Annibald" was enumerated as a 60 year old woman born in New York, living in the home of Allen Inman and his wife Margaret, age 29, (Margaret was of the right age to have been the daughter between 15 and 20 enumerated in the 1840 census of Charlotte's household, but such a relationship needs further evidence).
        In the 1860 census of Providence, taken July 26th, Charlotte Annabel, age 71, was enumerated as a domestic in the home of Sylvester Barton, 36 year old farmer, and his 28 year old wife Alice, also a domestic, along with their children Martha Ann, age 9, and Charles, age 2, (enumerated two homes away were Henry Barton, age 40, his wife Louisa, age 44, and their children Lemuel, age 12, and Almeda, age 6).

First Cousins, Once Removed....

The strong resemblance between Levi F. Annable (left), son of Abner H. Annable, and Marvin Annable (right), grandson of Abner's brother Levi Annable, affirms their close common ancestry.

       (8)  Abner H. Anable, a farmer, was born about 1811 in Saratoga Co., New York, and died 1 April 1891 in the town of LeRay, Jefferson Co., New York, where he is buried in Evans Mills.  The name was variously spelled Annable, Anable, Annabel, and Anabel.  Abner's middle name is not documented, but it is reasonable to suspect "Hall" or "Hart" given his mother's lineage.
        Judging from census enumerations of his parents' home in Providence, Saratoga Co., New York, Abner probably lived with his birth family until at least 1830.
        Abner married Sally Myres, born about 1815 probably at Cranberry Creek, Town of Northampton, Montgomery Co. (now Fulton Co.), New York, died 18 January 1860, also buried in Evans Mills, Le Ray, Jefferson Co., New York.  Her maiden name is taken from the death certificate of her son Levi F. Anable.
        Sally was born in Montgomery Co., New York. Her brother Elisha is known by his own accounts to have walked from Northampton to Deer River on foot about 1827 to live with their uncle Richard Myers, who had a successful mill business there (so successful the town was once called "Myers Mills"). It seems most likey that Sally, by then only 12 years old, accompanied her brother to the area and that Abner would have met here once there. By 1834, Abner and Sally had welcomed their first known child, Louisa Octavia.
        The first census on which Abner "Anibal" appears as a head of household in New York is in the 1840 census of the Town of LeRay, Jefferson County, New York, enumerated with one child—a daughter between the ages of 5 and 10 (Louisa). LeRay was about 17 miles away from Richard Myers' operation in Deer River. Living three houses away was a woman named Betsey Delano, of a similar age as Abner (a significant fact since many Annables of Saratoga County were children of widow Lydia Peckham Delano).
        In 1843, Abner purchased land from S. S. Stevens in the Town of LeRay (Land Records U 3:328, Jefferson County Clerk).
        In 1849, the executors of the estate and last will and testament of Francis Depau, a merchant of New York City after whom was named Depauville in Jefferson County, came to Jefferson County and sold land to Abner land in the town of Alexandria for $325.  The Depau estate retained rights to all mines and ore that might be found on the grounds, but Abner had life use and could keep any profits he might collect renting out the property.
        In 1850, Abner H. "Hannibal" was enumerated in the Town of Alexandria (presumably on the property he purchased from the DePau estate). He reported his age as 39 (i.e., born in 1811), birthplace New York, occupation farmer. With him that year were wife Sally H., age 36, from New York, son Levi age 9 in school, son Horace age 5, and daughter Charlotte age 2. Absent from the household in 1850 was the daughter enumerated with Abner in 1840, who by then would have been between ages 15 and 20—daughter Louisa had married neighbor Eli G. June on 12 February 1850 only a few months before the census was taken; on her marriage she reported her age as 20, but on the 1850 census she reported her true age of 16.
        In 1860, Abner was living in the town of Alexandria with his second wife Martha, born about 1835 in New York, and his younger children Samuel H., Charlotte, and Myres.  She was conveyed real estate in one of the many land transactions between the Annables and the Swan family, indicating she may have been a member of that family.  In 1864 land owner maps show their residence as being close to the home of his daughter Louisa and her husband Eli G. June.
        In 1870, Abner was living in the town of Alexandria.  In the census, he reported his age as 58, occupation farmer, birthplace as New York.  His wife Martha, housekeeper, reported her age as 33, birthplace as Canada West.  Living with them were son Myers Annable, age 19, a farm laborer born in New York, and George Annable, born 1 May 1870 in Jefferson County.  Also living with them was Rosa Robinson, age 11, a domestic born in New York, who indicated that she could not write.
        Abner moved back to the town of LeRay about 1874.
        In 1876, Martha Annable purchased land from Cynthia (Miller) Swan in the Town of Alexandria (wife of Alfred Swan). Also in that year, Horace S. Annable and his wife Jane, both of Alexandria, sold land to Martha in Alexandria. Further in 1876, Horace Anable of Antwerp and Abner H. Anable "his father" of Alexandria, entered into a sale of land whereby Horace acquired from Abner and his wife (Martha) fifty acres "of land of the old farm of said Abner H. Anable and where he has lived for many years." Included in the deed of sale was a clause whereby Horace was also to pay "to Alfred Swan the sum of three hundred dollars for a lot of land being the same purchased of Wm. G. Taylor by Wm. Evans and by him sold to Swan which piece of land is conveyed to Martha wife of said Abner H. Anable."
        In the 1879 Directory of Jefferson County, Martha Anable is listed as residing on 16 acres in Plessis, Town of Alexandria. Abner is not listed.
        In 1880, Abner was absent from the census of New York State, and Martha cannot be found under the name Annable—this, coupled with the fact that Martha is not buried with Abner, may be an indication that the couple either separated or divorced and that she had resumed her maidenname or remarried by this time.
        Abner is listed in Child's 1890 Business Directory for the Town of Rossie, in neighboring St. Lawrence County. He died the next year on 1 April 1891 back in LeRay, according to his death certificate. His death certificate, on file with the Town Clerk for LeRay, does not indicate parentage.
        Abner left no will. Letters of administration for Abner's estate were granted to his son Horace S. Anable. On 17 December 1892, Horace appeared before the Surrogate's Court at Watertown and testfied that his father owned no real estate and that the value of his father's personal possessions did not exceed $300. Horace identified the following "kindred" spanning three generations:

Martha J. O'Brien, widow of said deceased of Pitcairn, St. Lawrence Co., New York
Horace S. Anable, son of the deceased of Evans Mills Jefferson Co. New York
Levi F. Anable, son of the deceased of Philadelphia, Jefferson Co.
George Anable, son of the deceased of Hammond, St. Lawrence Co.
Charles Anable, son of the deceased of Evans Mills, Jefferson Co.
Charlotte Jury, daughter of the deceased of Redwood, Jefferson Co.
being all of the living children of said deceased and are all of full age except said Charles who is a minor over 14 years of age
Charles H. June Theresa Jefferson Co.
Levi C. June place of residence unknown and cannot after diligent inquiry be ascertained
Hannah L. Briggs of Gouverneur, St. Lawrence Co., all 21 being all of the children of Lousia June a deceased daughter of said deceased.
Clarissa Patterson a deceased daughter of said Louisa June deceased left two children - Ross S. Patterson whose place of residence is unknown and cannot upon diligent inquiry be ascertained - and Siphenus Patterson whose PO address is unknown.

        Horace served letters of notice to each of the kindred before January 2nd requiring them to appear before the court to answer why he ought not to be appointed administrator of the estate. A few weeks later, on 10 January 1893, Horace appeared before the court to indicate that he had served all of the papers. On that same day, Abner's widow, Martha J. O'Brien appeared before the Surrogate Court and requested that she be granted letters as sole administratrix over Abner's estate. Her petition provided all same details as Horace's, but added that Siphenus Paterson was "a minor about 17 years of age resides somewhere in Jefferson County." On that day, Charles W. Thompson of Watertown was appointed the Special guardian for Charles Anable.
        Administration of the estate ultimately went to Horace on 16 September of 1893. Charles Petrie and Jonas Petrie, both of Evans Mills, were named in bondsmen, for the amount of $600 the same day.
        On 26 September 1893, T. H. Donald and Adam Bickelhaupt were appointed appraisers of Abner's personal possessions. Their final inventory, certified before the court on 27 November 1897, included cows, sheep, a pig, a wagon, a crowbar, a kettle, chains, and other items, totalling $202.

Children of Abner & Sally Annable (based on 1860 census records and burials):

1. Louisa Octavia, born about 1834, died by mid-1870's; married according to vital records on 12 February 1850 in the town of Alexandria, Jefferson Co., New York, Eli G. June, born May 1829 in Canada West, probably in Elizabethtown, Leeds Co., Ontario.  The officiating minister was Libeas Hastings of the town of LeRay.  They resided in Alexandria for a few years and later lived in the neighboring town of Theresa.
2. Levi F., (at right) born about October 1842 in LeRay, Jefferson County, New York, died September 1928 in Philadelphia, Jefferson County, New York, according to his death certificate; married three times, having no children by the last one.  His second wife was Mary Sawyer, born 1848, died 1902, buried in Plessis, town of Alexandria, Jefferson Co., New York.  When the 1860 census was taken, Levi was apprenticed to a carpenter with an address at the Plessis post office.
           Levi served in the Civil War, enlisting first on 5 May 1861 in the 35th New York VI, for two years one month and six days, ending his service on 11 June 1863.  He again enlisted from Alexandria in the 20th New York Cavalry on 4 August 1863.  He was promoted to the rank of Full Sergeant on 3 September 1863 and further promoted to Full Quarter Master Sergeant on 1 May 1865.  He was mustered out at Manchester, Virginia, on 31 July 1865, and he ended his service on 11 August 1865, serving two years and seven days.  Civil War service data was taken primarily from the surviving 1890 federal census of the town of Philadelphia, Jefferson County, and from his pension file at the National Archives, Washington, D.C.
           Levi is pictured at right circa 1870, (photo courtesy of great-great-grandson, John Wendel, Chicago, IL).
           In the 1880 census of the Town of Antwerp, Jefferson Co., New York, Levi was enumerated as a 39 year old carpenter, along with wife 32 year old wife Josephine who was keeping house, and their children Effie, Emma, and Mark. Also in the house was Addie LaFave, a 19 year old teacher of no relation.
           In his later life, Levi moved frequently between Auburn, Cayuga Co., New York, and Philadelphia, Jefferson Co., New York, suggesting affinity with the Anables of Saratoga County, New York, some of whom established themselves in Cayuga County.
           Mary Sawyer, Levi's second wife, was born about 1842, died of pneumonia 15 February 1902, buried in Plessis, Town of Alexandria. She was the daughter of Samuel Sawyer, and early settler of the Town of Adams. Mary was the mother of Levi's two sons Raymond and Claud. Her sister was Mrs. Diantha Crabb.
           Levi's third wife was Lucetta Johnson. According to his death certificate, she predeceased him.
           Levi's obituary mentions that he was the last surviving member of the G.A.R. chapter in the Town of Philadelphia. It went on to say that he died about 10:30 on September 23rd, 1928 at his home on South Main Street, where as an invalid he had been confined to his bed for about a year. It names two surviving half-brothers, George and Charles Anable of Theresa, and two sons, M. E. Anable of Park Ridge, Illinois, and Claude Anable of Syracuse.
           The obituary mistakenly states that he was the son of the late Samuel and Juna Anable. His death certificate, signed by his son Claude of Syracuse, indicates that Levi was a widower of Leucett or Lancett Johnson, that he was a retired carpenter, born in Alexandria on 8 October 1842, and that his parents were Abner Anable and Sally Myres, both born in New York State. The coroner reported that Levi died of "debility of old age" and from "disease of the prostate gland."

3. Mark E., born 1874, died 27 April 1949 in Cook Co., Illinois; married May or Mary E. Miller. He was a resident of Postdam, St. Lawrence Co., New York, and owned a well-known lounge at Clarkson University.  The 15 September 1920 edition of the Watertown Daily Times reported that "Mark E. Anable, head freight agent at Potsdam, has been appointed station agent at Potsdam. Mr. Anable began his railroad career as telegraph opertaor in the Evans Mills station a number of years ago. After leaving here he had station agent at White Lake and Hinckley and a few years ago removed to Potsdam." Parents of:
1. Francis Marshall Anable, born 1903; married Elizabeth "Bessie" Alida Hall. The 1 October 1928 edition of the Watertown Daily Times reported that Francis and Bessie of Chicago, Illinois, were married at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The announcement also reported that Francis was a 1921 graduate of Clarkson University, and was employed by the Victor Chemical company of Chicago Heights. (For more information about Francis' descendants contact Heather Lee at hlee@blanchardagency.com) Parents of:
   1. Donald Francis Anable; married Dora Mae Wilkerson.

Children of Levi Anable and Mary Sawyer:
1. Claud Carl, born about 1889; married 1910 (license granted May 25) Maud Marie Whitworth of 101 Winthrop St., Philadelphia, born 1889, died 1921, buried in Plessis Cemetery, Town of Alexandria, Jefferson Co., New York. Around 1909, Claud was working as a brakeman in the yard of the New York Central Railroad. While getting an air hose from a box car to attach to another, a shifter backed in on the switch and shunted the car onto Claud's left leg, which had to be amputated above the knee. In 1910 he was living with his parents in the Town of Philadelphia, Jefferson Co., New York, working as a restauranteur. This is likely the Claud Annabel, age 31, listed in the 1920 census of Syracuse, Onondaga Co., as a finisher in a factory, with wife Maud, and the children below. By 1930 he is listed as a widower and a teamster working at a motor plant, residing in the boarding house run by Carrie A. Bushman. Parents of:
   1. Mary, born about 1913.

Horace Samuel, born 1847, died 1928 in Town of Leray, Jefferson Co., New York; married Jane Palmer, daughter of Bernoni & Harriet Palmer, born 1840 in Alexandria, Jefferson Co., New York, died on Friday afternoon in April 1910 at the family home in LeRay, where the funeral was held at 1:30pm the following Monday.  Jane had a brother Levi Palmer, who lived in Michigan, according to her obituary, published 30 April 1901, in the Watertown Daily Times.

Anable and where he has lived for many years." In Child's 1890 Business Directory of Jefferson County, Horace is listed as a resident of Evans Mills, Town of LeRay, and as a farmer with 30 cows, leasing 200 acres from Jonas Petrie. Both are buried in Evans Mills, town of LeRay, Jefferson Co., New York. An article in the 11 October 1926 issue of the Watertown Daily Times tells the following unfortunate story at right.

4. Charlotte, born August 1849, died 8 February 1894, buried in Redwood Cemetery, Town of Alexandria, Jefferson Co., New York; married William M. Jury. The source of Charlotte's identity as wife of a Mr. Jury is the estate papers of her father, Abner Anable, and burial records.
