Notes

It appears that during William's lifetime, the family name was in transition as he is sometimes referred to as Abney and other times as Abner. I found this on Find A Grave and also on Ancestry.

Biography

William served in the War of 1812. During the War of 1812 William Abney along with Absalom Troup Abney, Abney Mays, Charles Abney and Thomas Hamilton Abney enlisted in Youngblood's 1st Regiment of South Carollina Militia.

His 1st wife was Delilah Richardson that died around 1818 based on the gap in the childrens estimated ages and his 2nd marriage. His 2nd wife was Elizabeth Graham.

Note

His birth date is estimated from the date of his first marriage and William being 21 years of age. That first marriage has 2 different dates based on sources. The day was the 24th or 25th. Edward Pike is using the later due to Bonds also being used as the Marriage dates.

Abner-208 and Abney-802 appear to represent the same person because: Abney is father's name. Could have changed his name to Abner during course of lifetime. Abner would go in the Current Last Name field. Same find a grave on both profiles. Exact same parents on both profiles.
