Lucas and his 1st wife, Josephine Russell. My lineage comes through their 2nd daughter, Martha Ann Lucas. Martha being a half-sister to Janettee "Nettie" Lucas. So, naturally, everything you stated below is information I've had for a very long time. However, I really do appreciate you taking the time to provide the data for it is very thorough and may help someone else in the future. I am more closely related to you through my Abernathy family tree. My grandmother, Mamie Alice Abernathy Mulligan Tims, was a sister to Irene Abernathy, wife of Irvin Napoleon Williams. Irvin being the son of Nettie Lucas and George Benjamin Williams and a brother to Walter Benjamin and Theodocia E. Williams. I have an old photo of Nettie, George, Irvin, Walter, Docia, Georgia, & Minnie. As for the Ricks Cemetery outside of Harrell ever being called the "Abernathy" Cemetery; well, that's news to me and to my older cousins who have lived close to the cemetery all of their life. My great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather Abernathys are both buried there, but the land was donated by Mr. Ricks and that's all it's ever been called. It could be that someone mixed Union Grove Cemetery up with the Ricks for my great-grandfather, Julian Rockett Abernathy, donated the land for the Union Grove Cemetery. The area around the cemetery many years ago was called Summerville and he and his family lived on 400 acres there. It's probably 4-5 miles or less between the two cemeteries. Thanks again for your kind response. VRB Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
