Hello listers, I am searching for information on Abel ROMINES who migrated from Virginia to Lincoln County and married, had three kids, wife died there, and then he died there. Two of the kids were bound out to two GLADDEN brothers, Moses and Joseph and Sally was bound to Jenny HAMILTON. I would like to know who Abel married and a date if possible. It would also be nice to know where they are buried. His wife died before he did and I presume they are buried in the same place. I found a reference in our library here to a marrige in North Carolina for Abel Romines, but when I tried to contact the person for further information, I hit a dead end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
