Rabon Origins: From Ron Rabon's Webpage, Dothan, Alabama

The origin of the name Rabon and its many forms of spelling begins in Scotland down under the borderlands between Scotts and England. The name is derived from the Rae Burn - (Burn is their term for creek) and the Raeburn is located in Ayshire lands in the old region of Strathclyde. The Raeburns belong to the Scottish Clan McRae and our Tartan is McRae.

The Scots were a religiously persecuted people by the government of England. They hated England. They hated the crown but loved their hilly land. Henceforth, after migrating from Scotland with some going to Ireland before coming to America, all branches of the Rabon family have been primarily Land Barons and landowners.

Most Rabon branches began their journey in Virginia and moved into North Carolina then South Carolina, Georgia then Alabama. One of the Georgia settlers became Governor of Georgia. One group went west early and was with Daniel Boone at the battle of Blue Lick when they were captured by the Shawnee War Chief Black Fish. This group eventually settled in Kentucky.

After the Civil War, the Alabama group split. Some went to Florida, others migrated to Arkansas then Oklahoma and Texas with the remainder staying in Alabama. Today, North Carolina and South Carolina probably have the highest number of Rabons of any other states.

I (Jody) am currently trying to find the parents of Richard Rabon or variations of spelling, that was born in North Carolina about 1798 and married Anne Potter. I have other earlier groups that I believe may be his ancestors but I need the missing piece to tie him in.
