    • I am confused. I have Wayland Abernathy born 1917 the son of Robert (Buddie) Abernathy and Millie Strickland. I did some searching for Buddie and I find the following:

      Check out ancestry.com and search for my family tree under Abernathy. I'm traveling Today but I'll check back with you later this evening.

      It has the same DOB and DOD as I have for my Buddie but this death certificate states his parents are John Abernathy and Celia Hedgepeth. Is the Death Certificate NOT the correct one for Buddie? It states his wife was Millie.... DO I have Buddie attached to the incorrect parents?

      I'll have to check with my Dad. There are questions about my Great-Grandfather. The tombstone in Spring Hope, NC says 'R.B. Abernathy.' He is buried next to Millie and their daughter Janice had her ashes spread at the foot of their graves.

      The confusion comes from the fact that one of my Uncle's, Christopher Ira, gets his middle name from his Grandfather. My Dad remembers the name Ira Bo from his childhood, but only remembers his Grandfather being called R.B. or
      Buddie.

      Any of that help?

      Well, I am confused as to whether I had the correct information about Robert E Abernathy son of Caleb and Martha. I had him married to Millie Strickland
      with Iva DOB 1906, Thomas DOB 1910 and Wayland DOB 1917 as their children BUT I have been going through the census records for Caleb and Martha and following Robert along with those census records.
      They CLEARLY state as follows:

      1900 Census Ironton, Lincoln, North Carolina as Robert E ABERNETHY
      1910 Census Ironton, Lincoln, North Carolina as Robert E ABERNATHY
      1920 Census Ironton, Lincoln, North Carolina as Robert E ABNERTHY; single
      1930 Census Ironton, Lincoln, North Carolina as Robt E ABERNATHY; single
      1940 Census Ironton, Lincoln, North Carolina as Robert E ABERNATHY; single
      living with his nephew Ted ABERNATHY

      In all of these records he states he is single. I think what I am trying to say is this Robert, the son of Caleb and Martha is not Buddie. I think I had two Roberts confused. But that leave the question that are you sure Caleb and Martha are your BUDDIES parents? I am now going searching to your Buddie or R B ABERNATHY and his wife and see if I can find who his parents are according to census records. I do see a census record for 1910 Mannings, Nash, North Carolina (this is the person I had previously thought was the Robert, son of Caleb and Martha) so I will see where that takes me and get back to you. SOON.
