Abbey was importing Scott and / or Purdey actions for a time. He was born in England, 1823. He worked in Utica, New York with his brother Robert. By 1840 he is in Chicago where he worked for better than 20 years. Gunmakers of Illinois by Curtis Johnson, VOL I has a nice article about him with plenty of pictures. His work varied a great deal from excellent to field guns.
