Note

The 'upshot' of all of this suggests that there may never have been an Abraham Jr.; that Abraham Sr. in fact may have come to live with son Adam, remarried to Tabitha McComas (which, by the way, info from the Wyatt family research indicates she was b. ca 1769 - which most def. would have made her a good bit older than an Abraham Jr., sibling to Adam!)

Of course, Tabitha wasted no time marrying the Wyatt within 2 yrs of Abraham Black's death. As she would not have been Adam's mother, you could see that she would leave Adam's household quickly. Conjecture, of course, at best. It should be noted also on Abraham's estate sale the name R. Wyatt, and Tabitha Wyatt as having received amounts of money made from the sale.

In 1830 Reuben Wyatt appears on the census records for Kanawha Co. VA. records show one male 16-20, 1 male 50-60, and no females. (p. 219) There is a small dot that may or may not have been and indicator of one female age 50-60 in the household, but the copy of the census is not entirely clear. There is no Reuben Wyatt found in Virginia in 1840, only a young Matthew Wyatt in Kanawha Co. with no elderly males or females in the household. A middle aged Reuben Wyatt appears in Lawrence Co. OH in 1840, but the age category places him much younger than the original Reuben found in Kanawha in 1830. No elderly Wyatts exist with that group either. Three more Reuben Wyatts can be found in Delaware and Miss. (didn't even look at those!) There is also a young Reuben Wyatt found in Illinois in 1840 alongside an elderly Edward Wyatt. It would appear, therefore, that Reuben and Tabitha passed away. A search for a Tabitha Wyatt as a head of household turned up no hits.

A subsequent search in the 1850s (because of the listing of names in the household) turned up no viable information as to Reuben and Tabitha. I did this as a possible means to see if she was younger than I believed.
