Polly Ann McAbee d/o Absolom McAbee was born in 1850. Her family is in possession of a book Book Entilted: "The Path Of Life or The Way To Glory and Immortality, A help for young Christians", by Rev. Daniel Wise, Published by Carlton & Porter, 200 Mulberry Street, New York, in 1857. The book was evidently a gift to Mahala Herren from W. C. McAbee as the notation "A present to Mahala Herren from W.C. McAbee" was written on a page in the front of the book (page had been torn) No one knows who Mahala Herren was nor how the book came to be in the possession of Polly Ann McAbee. There are other peoples names written throughout the book. These are James McAbee, J H Fowler, Mollie Gossett, Mary Gossett and Matthew Gossett as well as the family of Polly Ann McAbee. Do you have any idea who Mollie, Mary or Matthew Gossett might be? I would thi! nk they would be contemporaries of Polly Ann McAbee born in 1850.
