Abel was bequeathed 200 acres on Deep Creek in 1735. He had been
living on the land prior to his father's death. He sold 200 acres
in 1737 and another 100 acres in 1741. In 1743, Abel Croom purchased
a tract of land on the south side of Neuse River and west side of Whitely
Creek. It was probably on this land that the old Croom Church was
located.
