The following quote is taken from Grip Fast: The Leslies in History, Alexander Leslie Klieforth, Phillimore & Co. Ltd., Shopwyke Manor Barn, Chichester, Sussex, England, 1993, p. 267
"The first recorded Abernethy in America was William Abernathy who settled in Connecticut before 1650.He was followed by Robert Abernethy in 1652 who was among many prisoners of war whom Cromwell had transported after the Battle of Dunbar where he had fought under General David Leslie.Robert was sent to Virginia, survived the dreadful voyage and suffered five years of indentured servitude.Once released he married, acquired some land, and appears in the records of Charles County Court as a petitioner about ownership of cattle.In time he became a prosperous landowner, and in turn had an indentured servant working for him.Robert and his wife Sara had many children and established an Abernethy line in Virginia, which expanded into North Carolina and elsewhere in the southeastern United States."
So now, was it the Battle of Worcester or the Battle of Dunbar?
I have information (not ducumented) that George Abernethy de Barrie was the son of Thomas Abernethy de Barrie.Is there anyone out there with any proof of that?
