A confusion of Joseph Abernathys!
I have recently come across quite a lot ofmisinformation posted on the internet, regarding Joseph Abernathy b. 1749 VA, and Joseph Abernathy b. 3/13/1784 NC. This information confuses the identities of these 2 people, and I would like to put an end to this totally misleading matter, here and now, by posting a brief statement that cannot be disputed:JOSEPH ABERNATHY, b. 1749 VA, was the son of DAVID ABERNATHY SR., b. VA 1725/6,
and (most likely) married ANN WILLIAMS, daughter of CHARLES WILLIAMS SR., of Lincoln Co., NC, b. VA.THIS Joseph moved to TN before 1810/11, with his younger brother, DAVID ABERNATHY JR., b. 1759 VA. By many accounts, he d. before 1830, in either Lauderdale Co., AL or Giles Co., TN.
JOSEPH ABERNATHY, b. 1784 NC, was the son of ROBERT ABERNATHY IV, (another son of David Abernathy Sr.) who married GLAFFIRA (sic) ABERNATHY, 4/16/1804, NC. (Lincoln/Tryon Co. NC- Abstracts of marriage bonds) NOTE: Surety was: STERLING ABERNATHY. (Was this her father?)
The latter Joseph was the one who moved to Cape Girardeau, MO.
I have seen at least 10 postings (family trees, message boards, mailing lists,etc.) that totally confuse these two persons.
BEWARE! This kind of stuff can really snowball into something so tangled thatit would take, well.......?
