Abel and Sarah have an interesting story. Abel was aressted in 1778 for unlawful co-habitation without legal marriage in Wilkes co NC the warrant list Abel Pennington and Sarah Sweeten it must have been resolved by legal marriage because the following year Abel served as a juror--they later moved to Georgia then to Alabama. In his will his daughter Mary is listed as Mary Lovejoy---there is your link.
