Note for: Capt. Abraham Kilham, 19 Feb 1765 - 22 Nov 1834 Index

Individual Note:
      Abraham was a mariner and merchant. He lived in Beverly where in 1807 he bought the fine mansion on Cabot Street known as the Cabot-Lee-Ki1ham House, which was in the family for 117 years.
        The first United States Naval vessel was a 78 ton converted sailing vessel named "Hannah" out of Beverly, sailing Sept. 5, 1775. Therefore Beverly was the birthplace of the U. S. Navy. On Oct. 10, 1775 the "Hannah" ran aground in Beverly Harbor and then was used to defend the harbor.
        Ship owned by Abraham Kilham and named "Hannah" sailed from Newburyport for Charleston, S.C., on Dec. 19, 1789, then on to Cowes, Isle of Wight, Bremen, and back to Charleston. His sea voyages seem to begin in about 1779 with L. M. Fanny for Spain when he was fourteen years old.
        The Beverly Historical Society has many journals, abstracts regarding ships and letters recording his activities both as an owner and master on many different ships which would probably furnish information for an interesting story of his life and contribute to the history of New England sailing ships which went all over the world. The Addenda to these "Notes" record some of the information that can be obtained by research at the Beverly Historical Society.
        In his early sailing days he became master, and in his later years and after he retired from the sea, he was an owner in partnership with relatives and others. He was master of the Brig "Peggy" owned by the famous merchant and ship owners E. Haskell Derby of Salem. As early as 1799 he was a partner with Benjamin Lovett (1755-1804) on many 'shipping adventures'. Benjamin was the father of Betsy Lovett, his first wife, and son of Hannah (sister of his father Daniel). Abraham was a comparatively wealthy man as shown by his will (see Addenda).
        Louisa Bridge was descended from John Bridge (see John Bridge Family in America, and John's statue on Cambridge Common opposite Harvard University gate), James Chilton, and Increase Newell (see Charts K1 and K4 Kilham Genealogy).
