Posted on: DeSoto Parish La Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/La/DeSoto/10772 Surname: abington ------------------------- There was a photo of the first Abington from the 1800s who settled in Desoto parish, hanging in a restaurant in Grand Cane, LA. Someone from the branch bank in Grand cane, located nearby, should be able to tell you what happened to the photo. The people who opened the restaurant were from Shreveport, not related to Abington, but they had many artifacts hanging in the store of the towns history.
