in the 1850 censuse.......and have what I think is most if not all of their
kids. I do not know Lucy's surname however.

Subject: [INSPENCE] Abshiers
Thank you to all who responded to my inquiry about Abshiers, Powells and
Shoptaughs in Spencer. I sent that email out right before I left for a
trip, and now I'm going to be gone until after Thanksgiving, so I'm not at
home to check my files and respond properly. I should have waited until I
was back home before sending that inquiry, but I really didn't expect such
prompt and encouraging responses!
But briefly, (and from memory), the people I'm most interested in are the
parents of Nancy Abshier Shoptaugh. (Nancy is married to Henry Shoptaugh -
their daughter, Caroline Shoptaugh is our gggrandmother - she married Alford
Powell).
Nancy Shoptaugh's mother is Lucy, father James Abshier, both born in North
Carolina.
The LDS family search brought up the marriage of James Abshier and Lucy
Critchlow - I'm guessing these are the parents of Nancy Abshier Shoptaugh.
I've found lots of info on Abshires in Virginia and Critchlows in North
Carolina, but I just can't find proof that these are the same lineage as the
Spencer County Abshiers /Lucy Critchlow.
Again, thanks for your help so far.
Jerry
