Birth*	Abraham York was born say 1682. This date is an estimate based on the fact that he was married in 1704.
Marriage*	He married Mary Richards on 7 September 1704 in Boston, Suffolk County, MassachusettsG. They were married by the Rev. Cotton Mather.1
	Some Internet sources say that he is the son of John York and grandson of Richard York of Dover, N.H., but there is no evidence of any kind of suggest that is true. No evidence has been found yet to prove that he had a son Abraham, but for the purposes of this genealogy he will be connected here.

Birth*	Abraham York was born say 1705 in Boston, Suffolk County, MassachusettsG.1
Marriage*	He married Naomi Blake, daughter of John Blake and Joanna Whiting, on 22 June 1726 in Boston, Suffolk County, MassachusettsG.2,3
Death*	Abraham York died say 1750.1
	There is currently no evidence proving that Abraham is the son of Abraham York and Mary Richards, but the timeline works. We know that this Abraham married in 1726, so if he were born soon after his possible parents were married in 1704 he would have been 21 or 22 when married. Naomi was from Wrentham, Mass. at the time of her marriage, and she is called by the first name of both Naomi and Amiable in the records. Abraham was a fisherman. On 27 Jun 1732 he bought land from John Bennett on the northwest side of Washington and Bennett streets in Boston. On 15 Jul 1736 Abraham and wife Amiable deeded a house and land in the South End to the blacksmith Joseph Woods. This deed is the last record we currently have of him.4

	Extensive information on this Benjamin is on his wikitree page here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/York-5978 This famiilysearch pedigree - https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/landscape/KZ8Q-SW2 - proposes that this Benjamin was the son of Samuel York of Ipswich, but the Ipswich births of his children stop in 1730. Samuel had a son Benjamin who died as an infant in 1828, so it's possible that he had another one born two years after their last recorded child that just wasn't recorded in the Ipswich records.
