Loretta, Thanks for the land records suggestion being under ABNER instead of Absalom... hadn't thought of that, and yes, the father did own land, in the county in which he permantly settled.. but can find no proof that the son ever lived in the same county before 1840 when all that is listed is a son by the same age as THE son.... Next question to everybody..... I'm thinking out loud here, so I hope I'm not as dumb as it appears... The transfer/deeding of fathers land to sons will not be listed on the BLO site... right? Don't I need to go to that county to see about deeded records... Help me out here guys! Lanita
