Happy Day after Thanksgiving to one and all! I've lurked around this wonderful site for a few months now waiting to see if anything pertained to my families. I've discovered that while most of the info has nothing to do with my family names it does open up avenues for thought. My local Genie Club at the library just had a study on Scots-Irish and now there's a discussion on this site! How great is that! While I can't relate to the "newbies",people who came over in the 1800's,(GRIN!!!!) because my families, the Atwell's and the Abernethy's, came to America in the late 1600's I still learn something from everyone. Thanks to all who take the time to post questions, provide answers and steer us to other places to explore. Also, concerning the delete key, I've use mine many times when things aren't interesting to me and guess what, it works! (a little joke) Bless you all. Cynthia Bolick Gilbert
I am new to this mailing. Is any one connected to my line. I have hit a brick wall on Hugh's connection prior coming to the "Colonies". HUGH ABERNATHY was born Bet. 1738 - 1743 in Ireland, and died February 21, 1826 in Franklin County, Indiana. He married MARY ANN HAMILTON 1773 in South Carolina. She was born 1770 in South Carolina, and died September 16, 1838 in Fountain County, Indiana.
