Author: Michael J. Blum

Born in New Jersey on August 11, 1759. He was a Private in Captain Peter Layton’s Company, Colonel Sylvanus Seely’s Battalion Morris County, New Jersey Militia. He married Prudence Vance in 1783. In 1805 he moved to a farm in Burlington, Springfield Township, Hamilton County, Ohio. Their children were Samuel Vance, Sarah, Wickham, Elizabeth, Rachel, John, Isaac and Martha. He was one of the founders of Christian New Light Church, Mt. Healthy, Hamilton County. He died before December 12, 1827 and buried in Springfield Presbyterian Cemetery (old St. Mary’s Presbyterian) at NW corner of Springfield Pike and Cameron Rd. Hamilton County, OH.

Originally thought to have been buried in Roll Cemetery, then thought to have been reburied in Wesleyan Cemetery at Colerain Ave. at Hoffner St with other Roll’s. His name was placed on a 20” X 30” Granite memorial stone next to the GAR monument at Wesleyan Cemetery, 4100 Colerain Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45223-2684. Roll's were buried there in 1903, but apparently not Abraham who was found in 2017 to have been buried at Old St. Mary’s Cemetery in Springdale, OH. Although no stone has been found there with his name on it, his burial is listed on their records.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
