Although the Abraham family is not in this list of Upper Merion Landowners, yet there is evidence that a Sarah Abraham, widow, came from Wales, with her three sons, James, Enoch, and Noah Abraham, and that she bought land from the Letitia Penn estate, in Upper Merion, about 1730, and settled there. The sons married, but Enoch had no issue, James married Margaret Davis, and had a number of children, on of whom, Isaac Abraham, born 28, 4mo. 1717,married Dinah Havard, and from then there are many descendants living in what was the "Welsh Barony."
