In Reply to: Masterson Abernathy (early 1800's) by Terry Martin
While reading Elizabeth Denty Abernathy's The Abernathy Famil y (Pulaski, Tenn., 1929), p. 5, for another purpose, I happened upon the follow ing information: "Sterling's name occurs but once in the Virginia records. In 1 807, Burwell Abernathy, their guardian, settled with Sterling and Elisha Aberna thy. My father [James Edwards Abernathy] listed James, Sterling aand Elisha as three brothers from Virginia who came to Giles [County, Tennessee]]. In 1924, I received letters from Sterling's grand-daughter, Mrs. Shine of Hill County, Te xas. She wrote me: 'Awhile before my father died here in my home, about 30 year s ago, I asked him to write out for me a short history of his life. I will copy for you the principal facts recorded by him at that time.' From the data she s ent me I learned that Sterling married Mary McCormack of Frankfort, Ky. Their c hildren were Masterson, Coleman, McCormack, Sterling Harwell, Mary Louise, and Sarah Ann. Frederick's son Sterling died in West Tennessee near Middleburg, in 1843. Of Sterling's sons, Masterson and Coleman, we have no records. McCormack settled in Mexia, Tex." The preceding information involves the migration from V irginia to Tennessee of Frederick Abernathy and Frances Jennings Abernathy--she walked behind the truck cart and knitted socks on the way--and following is a paragraph from Sterling Harwell Abernathy's memoirs.
I am not certain whether you are conflating names or what, viz. "Masterson Coleman McCormack Abernathy," but I am fairly certain this family has something to do with your problem.
If you need a copy of the information, respond in the forum or to jabers/@/lorett otel.net.

TX There is a Masterson Coleman McCormick Abernath y b 5/25/1820 d11/9/1880 and his wife Mary Abernathy b8/12/1826 d11/24/1902 I a m not sure if they are any kin to my Abernathy's but they sound like what you a re looking for.

You don 't indicate a location for Masterson Coleman McCormack Abernathy, but I suspect he's from the Giles County, TN area. In 1820 Masterson C. McCormack was listed as a resident of the county, and the Abernathy was a prominent early Giles Cou nty family as well. I don't know much about Master
