He is possibly the Abraham Spickerman who served with John, Philip and Andreas Spickerman in the 10^th Albany militia infantry during the Revolutionary War. No other Abraham Spickermans have been found in any records during that particular time period.¹⁰

Before Abraham’s death at the end of 1790, he made his appearance in the very first U.S. federal census with one male over 16, one male under 16, one female, and one slave. He is buried in Livingston, Columbia County, NY. It is unknown when Elisabetha died, but she is probably buried with Abraham.¹¹

They had four children:

Johannes Spickerman was born 19 February 1758.¹² He was baptized 26 February 1758 at Linlithgo Reformed Church of Livingston, Columbia County. His sponsors were grandfather Sebastian Spickerman and aunt Lisabeth Spickerman.¹³ Johannes married Maria "Polly" Laurentz 2 December 1783 at Linlithgo Reformed Church.¹⁴ He is probably the Johannis Spikerman found in the 1790 census. If so, then his household consisted of one male over 16, two males under 16 and one female.¹⁵ It is unknown when Johannes and his wife died and are buried.

Only one child has been discovered, but it is possible they had more children:

1. Peter Spickerman was born 23 December 1788 and was baptized 6 January 1788 at Germantown Reformed Church in Germantown, Columbia County. His sponsors were Pieter Laurentz and wife Catharina Bausch.¹⁶ He may have not survived childhood because the only Peter Spickerman documented in any census records between 1790-1820, was a free black in 1800 with two other free blacks in his household.¹⁷

Elizabeth Spickerman was born 22 February 1760 and christened 2 March 1760 at Linlithgo Reformed Church.

George died a few years later, 8 December 1837, at the age of 83. They are both buried at Union Cemetery in Mellenville, New York.²¹
