Can you cite the evidence showing Abel died in New Orleans? I have read statements that he died outside of Pulaski County but have not found any evidence he died in New Orleans.

Many of Abel Gilliland's children migrated to Greene County, Indiana. One can verify this by typing in James Harvey Gilliland Greene county, Indiana. Abel had several children and at moment I don't have their names but that can easily be found by searching. Actually, James Harvey Gilliland's autobiography is recorded in a book and newspaper clippings from Greene county.
