Keel/Kell, lot 56 13th dist. Wit: Abner CENTER Sr. Abner Center Jr. This appears to be Abner Center/Senter of the Lincoln Co., NC area born 1755 and died 1835. He had a son named Abner born 1808. Abner Sr also appears to be the same one who served on the jury in 1795 Lincoln County, NC in the case of the State vs John Dover. Abner Center Sr. had a daughter Charlotte who is said to have died in Clarkesville in 1873. This has more coincidences if this is all true. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Dover [mailto:ddover1793@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 8:03 AM To: DOVER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [Dover] Jesse PONDER Andrew Countryman, witness to Jesse's deed near Francis J.
