Later found him on a Land Record there with another son. First son was Abel, Jr. who was "bound" by Eunice & James Cannon and moved to Hancock Co., GA as a young boy. Abel Sr. must have died and left young children. Abel, Jr. married Polly Butler in Hancock Co., GA. They had 7 children. I have names of 5, one of which was James Madison McBay, my great grand- father. Abel, Jr. also must have died and left young children. I found Polly on 1930 Monroe Co, AL census with no Abel. He must have died there or in Dallas Co., AL where they went from GA. Do you know where Abel was buried? I have not found that. Polly later married William Roberts. I have more info on James Madison's family and some on other children of Abel. E-mail me if you would like more: [email protected] Are we related?
