Research Notes

There is a conflict on birth date where most records indicate Abner was born 16 Apr 1881, although the headstone states 14 Apr 1881.

Also, if Avenant and/or Abner actually married Virginia Pitre, as is shown in the 1900 Census below, then his parents were Leon Langley and Sidalese Manuel, not Francois Langley and Marie Eliza. If confirmed that Francois was his father, then he did not marry Virginia. Unable to find another 1900 Census to contradict the one found.
