Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has a connection to the Abney family which came from Virginia? I am researching the Abney's and would like to find someone with documention to the early generations. I have found that there are two major researchers with differing beliefs on who the children belong to. One say Lt. Paul Abney died without issue, the other says Lt. Paul is the father of George and his brother Dannett Abney raised him. I am interested if anyone has any thoughts or documentation on this. I do not have access to many Virginia documents. I am willing to share any Abney document I have. They can be accessed on my website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~abneyresearch/ I started this site in November of 2003 and had to learn HTML as I went so now that I am familiar with HTML, there are a lot of changes being made to the site to make it easier to navigate and I have a volunteer webmaster who helps me. Please e-mail me if you have documents or suggestions or theories on the Abney generations. I would love to share info with you and discuss this further.
