His homestead was at North Windham, just within the bounds of Chaplin. He was a large land-owner and his extensive holdings at North Windham were generally called his ''Kingdom," while he was known as "King Abbe." He was a man of large heart, generous impulses and liberal opinions; of great vigor of both mind and body and a match for anyone in shrewdness and wit. His strong religious feelings made him a conspicuous leader in a sect which arose from the Baptist denomination in Windham and became known as Abbe-ites. His home was ever open for religious meetings or for the entertainment of guests. Among celebrated guests is the name of "Mother" Ann Lee, founder of the sect of Shakers. His will, made April 7, 1804, inventory March 18, 1809, mentions his wife and daughters, Zibeiah Wales, Mary Hebard, Zerviah Webb and Lucretia Badger. (Windham Probate Records, Vol. 15, pages 280, 285, 435, 539.) It is said that in 1803-4, he had 9 children, 88 grandchildren, 120 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild. In the Census of 1800 his family numbered eight persons, Mansfield enumeration. ------------------------- death notice from the Connecticut Herald (New Haven, CT) of 20 Jan 1807 says this: At Mansfield, Mr. Joshua Abbe, AEt. 97.
