Information from “Virginia/West Virginia Genealogical Data from Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Records”, Vol. 2, compiled by Patrick G. Wardell, Lt. Col. U.S. Army Ret. :

F-W10120, R1328.

  • - Abraham's daughter Mary "Polly" was older than indicated in this record. Ohio County, Kentucky marriage records verify her marriage to James Sallee in 1809, so she was more likely abt. age 53 in 1846, making her born sometime around 1793. This would have made her about 16-17 years old at her marriage.
