Biography

Abney is one of many families that came to early Estill Co. / Clark Co. Ky. Many were in the mining business.

Clark Co. Ky. is on many early records of where they were born. She has an I for a middle name in 1850. If she was born in 1799 it wasn't in Clark County, Kentucky. Estill didn't exist until 1808. Tucker had 10 kids with the 1st wife and John with Nancy Joyce.

This location is Estill & maybe Madison Counties but there are others from what we call a Mother County in Ky. Due to Clay Co. being divided into smaller counties. Ed L Pike.
