Some time in 1842, Abraham was charged with forgery. Joseph, Michael, and Henry Cravens along with James Sampson Winningham posted his $500.00 bond to get him out of jail. Abraham disappeared and never returned. The Cravens and James Winningham were ordered by the court to pay the State of Tennessee with their lands, goods, chattels, and tenements.
