ABRAHAM spent his entire life at Livingston Manor as a farmer and tenant. He joined the Linlithgo Reformed Church 6 June 1749 where his brother Philip and sisters Anna Maria Catharina and Anna Maria had already joined 18 May 1734. He and and his wife Elisabetha had all four children christened at Linlithgo Reformed Church. As a church member, Abraham was present as a sponsor at several christenings—Catalyntje Bresie (25 October 1755), Elisabeth Haver (14 August 1768), Andreas Jager (2 February 1776), and grandson Abraham Stever (28 November 1787).
He is possibly the Abraham Spickerman who served with John, Philip and Andreas Spickerman in the 10th Albany militia infantry during the Revolutionary War. No other Abraham Spickermans have been found in any records during that particular time period.
Before Abraham’s death at the end of 1790, he made his appearance in the very first U.S. federal census with one male over 16, one male under 16, one female, and one slave. He is buried in Livingston, Columbia County, NY. It is unknown when Elisabetha died, but she is probably buried with Abraham. |
