History of Franklin County [Ohio]:, published 1858 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 1,171 specimens collected within 10 miles of Abbey Chase between 1840 and 1975: 1,151 Animalia, 13 Fungi, 4 Plantae, 2 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Spreitzer, Adler, K. K., B. Kondratieff and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 4 workings within 5 miles of Abbey Chase: 2 producers, 2 past producers. 2 still produce. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction, Stone, Crushed/Broken, Limestone, General. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
