>This is Butch Johnson. I saw your posting about Abner, and I
noticed the
birthdates for Abner, William and John. I have seen these dates before,
they
are about 20 years later than the ones that I have. I got mine from the LDS
folks. I have John b. 1760, William b. 1762 and Abner b. 1764.
Let's take William. The date that you have for his birth is the one that I
have for his marriage (27 July 1787 Montgomery Co., VA with Garland Burgess
surety). Further, I have his children starting at 1788 (Jemima). These dates
seem to be supported by later census records.<<
SG-I fixed my records and this is what I have now, how does it look?
