    As it was popular to pass down a Christian name there were many Abraham Preble so when this Abraham is referenced he was designated as "The Great Abraham Preble" by generations of townsfolk.

    The names & dates of the birth of his children, all in York are found in the first book of the town record of York page 455.

    Other Events:

    • _UID: 4DEBB38629216B48A583A2CF321432F17027

    Notes:

    Multiple sources: Green's History of Boothbay, Genealogical History of Maine & New Hampshire, and Torrey's book New England Marriages Prior to 1700 identify Hannah's maiden name as Sayward. However, some researchers believe she was Hannah Kelley (LDS AFN # g3kq-b6 born: abt 1642).

    The family historian, Admiral G. H.. Preble identifies her as Hannah Kelley. But with concern that Kelley is not correct: The 6th son in the family-Jonathan of Arrowsic affirmed in 1761 in a deposition (York Deeds) "a son of Hannah Preble by Capt. Abraham Preble (137-134)" said Hannah was the daughter of Mary Sayward, wife of Henry Sayward.

    Geo. Preble goes on to write: "Crediting Jonathan with certain knowledge of his own mother, a difficulty rises. Is the name Kelley an error and only one wife? Were there two wives both named Hannah? The difficulty would be relieved if Hannah Sayward had became widow Kelley soon after an early marriage. If date of death is correct (1751) and she were 85-90 years old, she could have married young and by husband's death in a year or two become the wife of Preble as here asserted. What other explanation?"
