  • William Abbott's Salt Lake County death record states that he was born 22 February 1807. However, family tradition, secondary information and indirect evidence suggests he was born sometime between 1807 and 1811. More research is needed before a final conclusion concerning William's birth year can be made. William was christened 30 October 1811 in the Anglican Church. At this time, the birth date listed reflects family tradition from Family Tree at FamilySearch.org.
