Birth and death from the Brennan Family Tree on Ancestry, which calls him Abram Thomas Marlatt; parents and wife confirmed by the biography of his son Washington in Kansas and Kansans (1918). The earlier “1780” marriage date was an error and has been removed. The marriage date is from the Berkeley County record cited by William P. Marlatt, Family of Abraham and Mary (Maple) Marlatt of New Jersey, Virginia and Ohio (30 September 2019); the 1918 biography says 1814.
