Abraham II had two wives, Rachel and Elizabeth, both with the surname, Bond. If they were sisters, the second marriage would not have been valid at that date. The ‘Table of kindred and affinity’ in the Book of Common Prayer was legally binding, even of Quakers.
Abraham was born in 1657 in Rawden and his baptism took place there on April 25th, 1658.2
Birth Notes
John was the 4th son, and Joshua the third, so we were missing one. Not surprising when you see how faded and poorly recorded are these ancient baptism records are. The tree is now thought to be complete.
Born: Guiseley, St Oswald, West Yorkshire, England
He died at the age of 50 in February 1707 in Calverley. He was buried on February 7th, 1707 in Idle.1
