I'm sure you've seen the gravestone, but just in case: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/96411029

Abraham's burial:
Drouin collection (Church of England)
Refers to him as a senior farmer, died on the 12th, buried on the 15th of January 1877. Witnesses were Johnson Tuplin(?) and James Bryan  (Maybe Tuplin is a son in law?)


In the index of Quebec, Canada, Land Grants, 1763-1890:  I could find two entries, but very possibly only one is yours.  I kept bumping into another Abraham Bryan in the Quebec notarial records that went well past the year that yours passed away.

You might want to read this very old thread:

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/boards/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=48&p=localities.northam.canada.quebec.estrie.stanstead

One of the posters lists all 17 children of Abraham and Elizabeth  (poor Elizabeth!)
Although it is a very old post, perhaps the poster can still be reached.

At least 8 anc trees would give you contact with others and details of the children.
