Repeat of prior posting. I have a James Abernathy, who married to Elizabeth Deal, September 1837 in Davidson County, TN (Elizabeth, was born in 1819, probably in Sumner County, TN, the daughter of Henry Deal) I have been unable to trace James either back nor forward. Nor find any information on either of them after their marriage bond an d license in 1837. I did find on the 1850 Davidson County Census a 12 year old Elizabeth Abernathy, living in the household with Henry {age 71) and Mary (age 63) Deal. The Deals were originally from North Carolina. This leads me to believe that 12 year old Elizabeth Abernathy is the child of James Abernathy and Elizabeth Deal Abernathy, living with her grandparents. What happened to James and Elizabeth Abernathy I did find a David Abernathy in the Records of Davidson County Court Minute Book B Oct. 19, 1835 – Sept. 7, 1841 http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/3661/ Friends of Metropolitan Archives of Nashville and Davidson County Will appreciate any help.
