In this book he has listed some information on your Abraham line. You may already have this, but if so, it may help someone else. I. Abraham Pickelsimer, Sr., born January 16, 1787, about two years before David Pickelsimer, Sr. was born. Abraham married Elenor Hooper, Elenor b. April 12, 1790 d. September 21, 1825. To this union eight children were born. We list only the second one. a. Wilson Pickelsimer, born February 10, 1816. He married Jane McCall, born April 1, 1822, died May 6, 1892. They had ten children. We list only the fourth. 1. Judson L. Pickelsimer m. Lundie Lankford. Of their children, we list only one. (1) Dennis L. Pickelsimer m. Pansie Staley. Of their children, we list only one. (a) Henry M. Pickelsimer m. Elizabeth Brock. Children: Donna Elaine Pickelsimer Lisa Kay Pickelsimer This is all that was written about the Abraham Sr. line in Dr. Pickelsimer's book. There is more info in the Transylvania County NC History Book. Hope this helps someone. Frances Arthur.
