I am trying to track down descendants of Abel Gower's line. There will be a SAR grave marking ceremony for him later this spring at the Shiloah Baptist church. Abel Gower was born in VA in 1757. He moved to NC and joined the rev. war in 1777. Abel married Elizabeth Johnson in June 1782 in Johns(t)on Co. NC They moved to GA after the rev. war. By 1785 they were in Wilkes Co. Ga, which was later Oglethorpe and then Clarke county. By 1820 they moved to Gwinnett Co. GA where they lived out their life. Abel died on 17 Jul 1841 and is buried in the Shiloah Bap church cemetery over the line in Walton Co. He helped found the church back in the 1820's. Abel's known children are: Robert Maclin, Mary Polly, Reuben, William E., Sara, Nancy, and Phereby. Robert Maclin married 1. Mary Smith and 2. Mildred Terrell Burford in 1826. His children by Mildred are Harriett Delphia, Angelina A., Elia Ann, John M., Phili H., Abel W. D., Mildred Vashti, David Spenser, and Nancy M(aclin?). Nancy was born in 1844 and married Algernon S. Freeman in 1865 in Gwinnett Co. They moved to DeKalb Co. where A. S., as he was known, had a mill, among other things. The Freemans had 7 chidren including a daughter named Talula Angeline born in 1867, She married Winfield Scott Williams in 1882. THey had several children including a son John Sidney. John was born in 1893 and in 1920 he married Jessie Broadwater. Their marriage license was taken out in Fulton Co. GA. The Williams only had one child - Sidney Earle Williams. He became a chiropractor and founded Life University in Marietta, GA. I am researching Dr. Williams line. Lynda Wilson
