Abner Pease m. (2) Lovicy Allen; b. about 1751; d. 1788 in Stephentown,
NY.
He and his second wife joined the Shaker Society of New Lebanon, NY in
1780.
It was reported that one of his sons was so opposed to the Shaker
Society,
that when he contracted small pox, he purposely brought it into the
family
household, resulting in the death of Abner and Lovicy. In 1777, During
the
Revolutionary War, Abner Pease was a deputy sheriff in Albany County. On
the
way home from Albany, he and a Mr. Sheldon and Mr. White had stopped in
a
tavern owned by Nicholas Mickle. Mr. White, a Justice, ordered Pease to
arrest a band of Tories who were creating a disturbance in the tavern.
The
Tories surrendered, and were allowed to go upstairs to retrieve their
belongings. They came down, armed with muskets, and a fight took place,
Abner Pease was wounded in the thigh, and received a gash on the head
from a
cutlass, which scarred him for life. The Tories robbed the three, and
took
them as hostages into the woods. During the ordeal, Pease fainted from
loss
of blood. A compassionate Tory, John Sloss bound up his wounds with a
piece
of his own shirt, and left Pease in the woods. He was discovered by a
Dutch
farmer looking for his cows several hours later. The farmer took Pease
into
his house, nursed him back to health, and lent him a horse to pursue the
Tories. They were captured, and all but John Sloss, who was released
after
giving witness against them, were hung in Albany. One of the executed
was
Robert Sloss. The judges at the trial were Richard Morris, Robert Yates,
and
John Sloss Hobart. Abner Pease was later a Captain of a volunteer
military
company, formed in Albany County at the time of the Boston Tea Party.
