The details
Biography
George Abbitt (also George Abbott) (1634–1689)was a founding settler of Norwalk, Connecticut.
He was the son of Maurice and Gertrude Abbott of England.
He originally settled in Windsor, as an indentured servant. He apparently was sanctioned for selling ammunition to the natives, which was a serious offence at the time. He later settled in Hartford, and then prior to 1655, he settled in Norwalk.
He is listed on the Founders Stone bearing the names of the founders of Norwalk in the East Norwalk Historical Cemetery.
