I have an Abel Cain b.1838 in OH. The old family farm is in Noble Co., OH but Noble Co.
was not formed until 1851. Noble Co was formed from parts of Perry, Morgan & Monroe.
Abel's father was Samuel but his Grandfather was also Abel. Abel 1 moved his family to
Illinois sometime between 1830 & 1850. I don't know if Abel 2 went with them or
not. Some of Abel 1's other sons may have named one of their sons Abel also.
