Extensive family history that includes, on page 122, Abraham Coons (b.1808 or 1809; d. 1890), preceded by his ancestors and followed by his descendants. His entry indicates his first wife was Angelina or Julina Adams, and after she died, Abraham returned to Rensselaer County and married, second, “some woman from Albany (name and date unknown). This 2nd wife was a widow and they made their new home not far from W. Stephentown or Alps.” All of his eight children were by his first wife.
