(Much of the following information on the earlier generations has been contributed by other researchers and has not been documented by me.)
Konrad Ludwig Abel was born about 1729, in Wurtemburg, Vaihingen Parish, Germany.
Konrad married Eva Regina Boson on January 3, 1748/49. Eva Boson was born March 5, 1729/30, in Wurtemburg, Vaihingen Parish, Germany, the daughter of Jacob Boson and Eva (last name unknown).
Konrad and Eva immigrated to America about 1756-1758. They settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania prior to December 1758.
Eva died at Philadelphia on December 19, 1758, just three days after the birth of their last child. The child died one day before his mother's death.
Konrad was a "dryer" by trade. He became a naturalized American citizen on September 8, 1764, at Philadelphia.
