Notes

BUCKNER ABERNATHY born ca 1759(?), buried Old Abernathy Cemetery, Giles County, Tennessee (Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Daughters of the American Revolution, Refs 57 and 59 and ) Buckner ABERNATHY?S Revolutionary War Service has not yet been confirmed. He is not found on the 1812 Giles County Tax List, but a Buckner ABERNATHY is on p. 22 of the 1820 Giles County census with one male over 45 and one female over 45 in the household (with others). The 1830 census has not been checked, but Buckner is apparently the B. ABERNATHY in the 1840 Giles County Census, p. 121 with one adult male 80-90 in the household (among others). In 1850, Buckner ABERNATHY is age 91 (born ca 1759), Virginia, in District 16, HH110. Frances THOMAS (female), age 55, North Carolina, is also in the household.

Buckner is thought to have been the son of John B. ABERNATHY who died testate, his will dated 17 Feb 1812, and recorded in Brunswick County, Virginia (Will Book 8, page 79):
In the name of God Amen-

I John ABERNATHY serv. (?) of the county of Brunswick now in tolerable health and perfect memory do this 17th day of February, in the year of our lord eighteen hundred and twelve do make and publish this my last will and testament in the following manner (Viz.) I give my son John ABERNATHY twenty five pounds per year during my residence with him for my board and clothing. If there is not money sufficient at my death to pay John ABERNATHY above mentioned then my desire is that he shall sell my land pay himself in full the balance that may be due him for my board and clothing and my desire is that my executor divide the residue of my estate between my children (except Charles ABERNATHY, the heirs of Ann HARWELL, and the heirs of Jenny DAVIS, which I shall hereafter mention). I then give and bequeath one proportion to my son Frederick ABERNATHY, to him and heirs forever. Also to John ABERNATHY, to him and his heirs forever. To Robert ABERNATHY, to him and his heirs forever. To Buckner ABERNATHY, to him and his heirs forever. To Joshua ABERNATHY, to him and his heirs forever. To Smith ABERNATHY, to him and heirs forever. I also give to children first mentioned meaning Charles ABERNATHY, the heirs of Ann HARWELL and the heirs of Jenny DAVIS fifteen shillings to be equally divided between them and their heirs forever. I constitute and appoint John ABERNATHY executor to this my last will and testament whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal the day and year before mentioned.
