I don't know much Ginny. Abraham was born in Columbiana Co. I know Carroll Co. was formed from parts of Columbiana Co. but I don't recall when. Maybe the area where he was born changed afyter his birth. I do think that he was a farmer. In the 1850 census he is shown as a landowner even though in the index they listed him as Abram Maddy. I guess that they moved to WI because of some deals on land. I've seen a number of people from the same area that wound up in Richland Co.His obituary states that" Owing to the poor circumstances of his parents, he was, when but a boy, bound out to work for himself." I can't recall if I told you that I did find a record of him being baptized as an adult at the Presbyterian church in Columbiana Co. in, I believe, 1845. With him also baptised as an adult was a Susan Moody. Maybe a sister.
