In Reply to: Benjamin Abernethy -- Rutherford, William Abernethy, Maggi e Griffon, NC by Cathy A. Abernathy of 2166

It's a pity that the 1900 and 1910 census records aren't indexed on Anc estry yet, as are 1920 and 1930, however knowing where you're trying to f ind the people you're looking for is almost as good as an index, when t he clues are as strong as they are here. Therefore:

Census, 1900, Burke Co, NC, Lovelady, ED 10, p. 180a&b, household 171-1 73: Abernathy, William P. age 49 b. Nov 1850, Maggie, age 42, b. Sep 18 57. Maggie had 9 children, of whom all were still alive at the time, al beit not all 'at home' with their parents. The household in 1900 includ ed the 5 youngest children: Charles (17), daughter May (15), 'Bennie' ( 13) whom I believe is your Benjamin, son Everet (8) and son Bertie (4). W illiam P. Abernathy, wife Margaret, and the 4 elder children were found o n the 1880 Census for Burke Co, NC, p. 263a, in the Lovelady community. W illiam is listed as a Carpenter. William is listed in the 1870 Burke Co unty NC census as 'Willie P'. Census Roll M593_1126, Lovelady, p. 319, h ousehold #43-43, date 23 Jul, age 16. His parents are Logan Benjamin an d Catharine (Jarrett) Abernathy.

Logan Benjamin Abernathy (1824-1909) was the next younger brother to Ro bert Laban Abernathy, Founder & President of Rutherford College, who al so had a son named William, as you discovered, but my database shows Wi lliam Ellis Abernathy married to a Miss Bertha Thomas Winn, and the 190 0 census confirms that it was his cousin 'Willie P' who married Maggie. E stimated date of that marriage: 1871 or 1872. A letter to the relevant B urke County officers may well yield a certified copy of the license.

Robert Laban and Logan Benjamin are the two eldest children of Turner T . and Fannie (Whitener) Abernathy. I can trace that couple back thru th e 1840, 1850, and 1860 census records but cannot identify two of the 10 c hildren as yet. I cannot fully document at this time Turner's link to h is presumed parents, Robert Abernathy and Sarah Nichols. Nor can I demo nstrate with solid evidence that Robert's link with parents, either. I, p ersonally, have Robert tentatively shown in my database as a son of Dav id and Ann (Turner) Abernathy, but the evidence is not as conclusive as I w ould like. And there are those who claim Robert as a child of a differe nt set of parents, pointing to some of the same documentation to do so. T hat far back, things can sometimes get murky, you see?


I have just received a letter with a copy of information that Benjamin A bernethy gave the social security office, when he applied for a SSI num ber.

It is as follows:

DOB: 1886 March 26
NAME: Benjamin Franklin Abernethy
PLACE: Rutherford County, NC

Father: William Abernethy
Mother: Maggie Griffon
Application date: 1-11-1937
Age of application: 50

From this I have found information from online census records with this :
=====================================
Household Record 1880 United States Census
=====================================

Name Relation, Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation

Wm. P. ABERNETHY Self, M Male W 26 NC Carpenter

Margret R. ABERNETHY Wife,M Female W 23 NC Keeping House

Joseph A. ABERNETHY Son,S Male W 7 NC
Rosa A. ABERNETHY Dau,S Female W 5 NC
Fannie T. ABERNETHY Dau,S Female W 3 NC
Wm. L. ABERNETHY Son,S Male W 3M NC
===========================================
Since Benjamin was born in 1886; this should be his family group -- I h ave found no other Abernethy/(Maggie/Margret) Griffon pairing, thus far .

Does anyone have any further information?

All help is appreciated.
