Diane, I believe that is the same family as I find them spelled both ways too. I sure would like to share what you have on these families. I am interested in the FARRIBA family too as many of my Williams and related family had this name. Here is what I found on the Census and they lived near my Williams too. 1800 Pendleton District.

I have an Abel HONEA, Sr., b OPD c 1785, married a Jemima, and had a son Abel HONEA, Jr. (1810 OPD-1893 Dawson County, GA), who migrated across north Georgia to the Dawson, Pickens, Cherokee, Gilmer, Lumpkin Counties area with a group of families including DENSMORE, FARRIBA, GOSS, GRAVITT, GREEN/GREENE, GROGAN, HARBEN/HARBIN, TURNER, and others. Abel Honea, Jr., m Nancy Ann FARRIBA (1815 OPD-1898 Dawson County, GA) cir 1836 in Habersham County, GA (where many of those families settled before the northwest Georgia area opened up with the 1832 GA Land Lottery. Habersham and Rabun Counties adjoin.) Abel and Nancy had six known children, 3 girls and 3 boys: Emily Frances (1837-1908), Jane (1838-1918), Robert (c 1842-?), William Washington (1845-1907), Celia Joanne "Cely" (1851-1928), and James Talmage HONEA (1852-1918). Many of their descendants still live in the Dawson, Pickens, Cherokee, Gilmer, Lumpkin Counties area today, and other descendants migrated to Alabama and Tennessee. Abel, Jr., and Nancy Ann (Farriba) HONEA eventually settled in Dawson County, GA, were members of Pleasant Union Baptist Church and were buried in the church cemetery. I am still looking for the parents of Abel HONEA/HONEY, Sr. Any assistance will be appreciated. Diane Carrington Bradford Atlanta, GA -----Original Message----- From: David S.
