DISNEY. Beyond the name, what sets her off is the marriage license stating she was born in Indiana and that her parents were born in NC. Granted Abner sometimes shows up as born in VA but. . . as of the 1850 Abner NELSON is in Wabash Co., IN and in 1860 both Rachel and Polly show as being born in Indiana with the others from NC. I suspect you already have this 3rd marriage of Abner NELSON but in case you don't: Knox Co., KY Marriage Bonds and Records - Book D - 1874-1876 NELSON, Abner, residence: unreadable; age 87 years "3rd marriage".
