s/o Dannett & Cassandra A. Abney of Saluda Co. SC. Wife thought to be Sarah Griffin, d/o Joshua Griffin.
George served in the Rev. War in the SC Militia under General Andrew Pickens. DAR# S16591.
The Revolutionary era one-acre site for the ABNEY Meetinghouse near the head of Persimmon Lick Creek and a mile south of Higgins Ferry (Saluda River), was donated by George Abney in 1798. The subscriptions to build and maintain the non-denominational meetinghouse were collected in 1803.
He was the first Abney to settle in the State of Indiana.
burial per R.R. Abney & Brown work.
Children: Isaac 1771, George, 1773, William 1773-1777**, Ann 177?, Charles 1774, Joshua 1784.
**Looking for information on William Abney, born 1773-1777, son of Sgt. George Abney and Sally Griffith, all of Edgefield. I ran across an Edgefield Advertiser article from 1857 where an Abagail Abney, widow of William Abney was petitioning to gain rights to his bounty land earned for service in the War of 1812. Joseph Griffith who is related to Sally was a witness. I found records where a William Abney enlisted in Capt. John Coleman's company in Col. William Youngblood's 1st Regiment of South Carolina Militia. I also found records where Abagail Abney in 1860 sold the bounty land in Crawford Co., Iowa. Just this week I located an 1851 Edgefield will for a William Abney that I believe is him. Unfortunately it mentions leaving his property to his wife and son William Abney during their lifetime, but does not mention her name. The only other name mentioned is stepson R. L. Gentry who he names executor. Perhaps Abagail was a widow Gentry. There were two Coleman men, William and Thomas, listed as witnesses, and William Abney served in Capt. John Coleman's company. I haven't located any other probate files. I realize all this information is sketchy and lacking in proof. I'm hoping that someone here might have information to share.
