Hello List; I'm wondering if any of you that might live in or have lived in SAND GAP, would have any idea where the old homestead is or was of Abel Gabbard ? Abel first married Almeda Peters in 1879. In 1888 he married Mary Belle Hacker. Any help in locating this property would be great. Thank you, Cosetta Hacker Dowdell Melbourne FL see ya c

Hi Cosetta, Looks like you have your "Abel's" mixed up :-) I'm not sure who the Abel is who built the house at Sand Gap but I know he's not mine. I believe Dallas Fox has a photo online that he took of that home ......are you out there Dallas? Abel B. Gabbard b. 1861, m. Almeda Peters. He is s/o William Gabbard and Rachel Elizabeth Johnston. Abel B. is my gr-grandpa. He died 1952 and they are both burried in the Gabbard cemetery at Parrot (Letterbox) KY. Their daughter Lillie was my grandma. My dad grew up in Letterbox where his grandpa built a home and church off Blacklick Rd. There is nothing there now but rubble and I've visited there several times. Almeda died in 1938. Abel B. was never married to anyone else and they lived entire lives at Letterbox. There are at least two other Abel's if I remember right from what Ira Gabbert wrote me. You can jump in here anytime Ira :-) Kathleen Couch Latshaw (Kathy) Kentucky Couch Kin http://swapasource.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cosetta Dowdell" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 7:03 PM Subject: [KYJACKSO] Abel Gabbard > > Hello List; > I'm wondering if any of you that might live in or have lived in SAND > GAP, would have any idea where the old homestead > is or was of Abel Gabbard ? > Abel first married Almeda Peters in 1879. > In 1888 he married Mary Belle Hacker. > Any help in locating this property would be great. > Thank you, > Cosetta Hacker Dowdell > Melbourne FL > > see ya c
