Biographical information:

Birth ca. 1814.

Registered to family of Itsko Davidovich Kamen.

Known from record in the 1834 Revision List for Svir, from the LHSA, via Stew Cherlin. There are two entries for this name in two locations, neither listed as present in 1834.

In the first entry his age is given as 28 in 1818, so born ca. 1790. In the second his age is given as 14 in 1828, so born in 1814. This is more reasonable. This second record shows him as three years younger than Abram in any case.

Several points are unclear. The first entries refer to the previous revision list as 16 years earlier, the second entries refer to the previous list as 6 years earlier. It is possible that there is a reason for this. These can be reconciled by changing one entry in the second set. A fuller reading of the original documents could be helpful.
