Biography
Abraham Post was born in Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut circa 1640. Abraham died circa 1691 in Saybrook, CT, at age unknown. He married twice. He married Lydia Buckland. Lydia was the daughter of William Buckland and Mary Bosworth. Lydia died before 1701 at age unknown. He married Mary Jordan circa 1663. Mary was born circa 1640. Mary was the daughter of John Jordan and Ann Bishop. Mary died March 23, 1684/1685 in Saybrook, CT, at age 43. He was made a freeman in 1665, an ensign two years later, and became a lieutenant of those concerned with land surveying and dealing with the Indians (notably, Uncas, Sachem of the Mohegans). He left real estate valued at over 487 pounds. His eldest son Stephen recieved 121 pounds, the other children 53 pounds each.
Abraham married Mary Jordan in 1663 and among other children, they had a son, Abraham, born in 1669. Abraham's year of birth is not certain. He may have been born in 1635 or a little earlier.

Notes
I would contend that Abraham must be buried in an unmarked grave in the Cypress Cemetery which is the oldest cemetery in Old Saybrook and has a tradition stating there were unmarked graves for the early settlers.
I would propose that Abraham's father and mother are also buried in the Cypress Cemetery in Old Saybrook as they are both known to have died there. Old Saybrook is where the family had moved by 1649.
