Hi Kenneth and others interested; I descend from Frederick Abernathy who married 1st Abigail Harwell, md 2nd Milly Davenport Feb 13 1795 at Bristol Parish, Bruns. Co VA. He never came to Giles Co. He left a will dated 19 Dec 1816 in Brunswick Co VA naming his only son by Milly as his executor. His son was Matthew Abernathy who married Elizabeth Jackson [Eliza J.] Jackson on Nov 20, 1827 Bristol Parish, Bruns. Co VA and were the parents of my great-grandfather, Henry M.C. Abernathy , who married Alcy 'Caroline' Graves on 25 Dec, 1852 Giles Co TN. She was dau. of Campbell Graves and his unknown to me 1st wife. Ginny Keefer nee Virginia L. White
