The only references available (as of 08 Oct 2016) for this Abner Anderson is found in The Genealogical and Encyclopedic History of the Wheeler Family in America, and all that says is that Sally Hubbard Wheeler married him in 1845. Nothing else concrete has been found yet.[1]
There is an Abner Anderson born in Connecticut that comes up but he is married to a Sarah H. not Sally or Sallie. T Counce does not believe this is the same Abner Anderson.
