Records in Virginia

June 21, 1796, we learn that Abraham Lefever Sr. and his wife Elizabeth sell their tract of 280 acres in Augusta County to Samuel Huff25. Apparently, a will for Abraham Sr. has never been found in Augusta County. The fate of Abraham Sr. and Elizabeth, after the land sale in 1796, remains a mystery. No documentation of their death in Augusta County has been found. No documentation has been found in Augusta County for any of Abraham's children other than Abraham Jr. (II). That is, unless we accept the possibility that Abraham's son-in-law, Caper Zilling, lived in Augusta County. Ancestors of Isaac T. Lafaver 1801, by Jeffrey La Favre, jlafavre@gmail.com
