Bond is also signed by Richard Harris of New London, New London, Connecticut. Richard Harris was Lucritia's father.

The date of the bond suggests Abner died in 1762, not 1761. Another Abner Beckwith died in 1760/1. A bond for his probate was signed by John Mack and Ebon Holt (?) on 3 January 1761. His mother is identified as Abigail Beckwith widow in a record in the file appointing John Mack as the administrator for her son's estate on 12 January 1761.
