Abner was born in 1742. Abner is the child of John Pipes and Susan Hathaway. [1]
Abner Pipes (3) (Windsor1). His birth place and date are subject to controversy. Someone stated in his obituary that he was born in Kentucky, near Louisville in 1773 and that his family moved to Mississippi territory when he was 7 or 8 years old. No one has been able to ascertain that this account is true or untrue. In the 1880 Census, his son, Isaac Newton states that his father was born in Mississippi.7 He married Elizabeth Odam (60) circa 1797 in Mississippi.2 He married Delilah Cable (62) on Nov 19, 1807 in Jefferson Co., Mississippi (Marriage Book A. pg 62).2 He married Mary Hynum (66) on Dec 4, 1825 in Jefferson Co., Mississippi (Marriage book A pg 227. There is also a database entry for this marriage as Apr 17, 1825 and Dec 4, 1825).8 He died in 1834 in Rodney, Jefferson Co., Mississippi.7 He provides us with one of the most interesting clues as to the travels of Windsor Pipes and Jane Mcaffee between 1771 and 1780. Recorded in the book "Jersey Settlers" is an obituary which was first uncovered by Ella Pipes Dumas in 1967. The obituary is for Abner and appears in the Wednesday, August 27, 1834 edition of the Southern telegraph of Rodney, Mississippi. It reads thus: At his residence, near Greenville, in this county, on the 31st ulto., after a protracted illness, Mr. Abner Pipes, in the 62nd year of his age. He was born near Louisville, in the state of Kentucky, and in his eight year, came to Natchez ( in 1780) when this country was subject to the British Crown. About the time of the evacuation of this country by the Spanish Authorities, in 1795, he removed to the neighborhood in which he has ever since resided, and in which he died.
The following is the obituary for Abner Pipes (1773-1834) (oldest son of Windsor Pipes 1740-1806). It appeared in the Wednesday, August 27, 1834 edition of the Southern Telegraph of Rodney, Mississippi.[2]
NOTE: Isaac Newton Pipes marked in the 1880 Census that his father, Abner, was born in Mississippi. (It is improbable that Abner was born in Mississippi in 1773 as the family is not noted in Mississippi until after 1780.RJP.) See also, the entry for 1780 that shows Windsor in Kentucky, near present day Louisville in 1780.

[This strange entry states the relation of Abner Pipes and John Pipes Sr., his father. In this entry, Joseph White, formerly of North Carolina swears] "about 30 years ago, in Wilks County, N. Carolina, he had a quarrel with (1) Pipes, father of Abner Pipes Sr. now of Adams County, Mississippi Territory, and a fray ensuing theron, in which the said Abner Pipes Senior did by some means get part of his right ear either bitten, smashed or cut off."
No one has determined why this sworn statement was made, but was probably part of some lawsuit filed some where. It is also included in "Descendants of Windsor Pipes and Abner Pipes", published by E. P. Ellsberry.
The will of Abner Pipes is recorded in Adams County, Mississippi. Mentioned are his wife Mary, son John (who is not of age), "two daughters, Ann and Polly" ( implies that Ann is married, Polly is not) Witnessed by Eusatace Humphreys, John Pipes and Moses Redey.
