ABRAM D. GREENLEAF, a veteran of the War of the Rebellion, is the
son of Eyerett R. Greenleaf and Jane Danielson and a grandson of Enoch
Greenleaf and William Danielson. He was born in New York City on the
7th of October, 1828. Coming from old English stock, and from ancestors
who settled in this country several generations ago, he inherited the sterling
characteristics of his race, and during a long and active career has exemplified
the family traits in both private and public life. He was educated in the public schools of New Durham, Hudson County, N. J.. whither his parents removed when he was a boy. There he has resided to the present time, following the occupation of fisherman and the trade of a carpenter. In 1862 he enlisted in the Twenty-first Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers, and served until the close of the Civil War, being detailed in 1864 on the brigadier-general's staff. He participated in both battles of Fredericksburg and at Chancellorsville, and attained distinction as a brave, patriotic soldier. Mr. Greenleaf is an independent Democrat, a man of great force of character and native ability, and esteemed and respected for his public spirit, integrity, and enterprise. He was a Constable and a Court Officer under Judges Bedle and Randolph, and in religion is a Methodist. He married Miss Elizabeth Lozier, and has three children: William E., Abram, and Levi L.
