Response to query regarding slave names, including Abernathy. It is possible the following persons may be of that family although this is much later in time. In 1880 Marshall Co. Census - household of Samuel Briggs in Hudsonville the following names listed as Black. Andy Abernathy - works on farm - Black - age 55 - born NC - both parents born NC. Margarett Abernathy - works on farm - Black - age 40 - born MS - botrh parents b MS. It is my understanding Hudsonville and Early Grove are in the same vicinity.
