If you would please update this thread after Aug 15th I will get a reminder to look at my files. David Abernathy, christened 29 May 1726 in VA, is my 4th great grandfather. His son David Abernathy, b. 29 July 1752 in VA, married Christina Forney 27 May 1782 in Lincoln Co., NC, d. 1838 in Giles Co., TN. My guess would be that your David Abernathy, b. 1790 in (Giles Co.), TN, was the son of David & Christine, but I don't have him in my database with me. Christina Forney's sister Eliza married Judge Henry Young Forney and then ended up in Greene Co., AL, and the descendents all lived in Eutaw, AL. Their son Dr. Henry Young Webb married Elizabeth Smith Alexander in Eutaw. I have a bunch of stuff on Eutaw at home too, which I could look up. David, Nathaniel, Joseph, Alexander, Robert are all names in this family, used repeatedly each generation. Hate to be so tantilizing and offer no real data, but everything's at home & I won't be back until after the 15th Aug. Please do update this thread and I'll try to remember also and we can track this down. I'd love to find some Abernathy kin! If you have any questions, please contact me before the 15th and I might find something else hidden on my computer. (I'm sure going to look!!) Alice Campbell
