Garret Abeel
Biography
Garrett Abeel came from a family of iron merchants who arrived in America from Holland in the 1600s. He formed the firm Abeel & Byvanck with his brother-in-law in 1765. At the beginning of the American Revolution, Abeel accepted the position of Major in the First New York Regiment of Militia, commanded by Colonel John Jay; he resigned from it after his election to the Fourth Provincial Congress in White Plains. Abeel's son, Garrett B., continued the family business.
