Litchfield, owns a dairy and grain farm of 120 acres.  He was highway 
commissioner for three years, was three times justice of the peace, and held 
that office for ten years; he also held the office of assessor for five 
years.  He was born in Cobleskill, Schoharie county, Febraury 19, 1810, and 
settled in this town April 7, 1834.  He married Rebecca Budlong, a native of 
this town, and born on this farm, where she lived all her life.  She was born 
May 3, 1811, and she died October 3, 1888, leaving one son, Charles F.; she 
had two children who died:  John J., August 21, 1858, and a daughter, Ophelia 
L. Maltby, who died September 15, 1878, and left three children:  Eugene A., 
Charles W. and Lelia R. Maltby.  Charles F., the only son of Sardis L. and 
Rebecca Abbott, married Alice E. Vincent, and they have four children:  
Florence A., Charles W., Gordon N. and Robert.  Sardis L. Abbott is a son of 
James P., who was a son of Joseph, a native of Hamden county, Mass.  Mrs. 
Rebecca Abbott was a daughter of John Budlong, a native of this State, and son 
of Aaron Budlong.  The law in early days was that every boy eighteen years old 
was liable to military duty, consequently Sardis L. Abbott was enrolled, and 
went into the ranks, from which he rose to the rank of captain, and after 
serving four or five years he resigned.
