Poking around the net and reading, I hypothesize that this Abner Stulce (he also spelled it Stults) b. 1795 was the son of either:
Abner Stultz - Birth : 07 SEP 1770 VA, (Pittsylvania), Death : ABT 1850 VA,(Henry), married EGGLESTON, Anne "Nancy" daughter of EGGLETON, Thomas and WATSON, Anne
or his brother
Joseph Stultz - Birth : 12 NOV 1773 VA, (Pittsylvania)Death : ABT. 1860, married WITCHER, Amy on 29 NOV 1805 in TN,(Grainger)
IF my hypothesis is correct, then we can trace our family tree back to Abner and Joseph's father, Adam Stultz b. ABT 1744 & Mary Gravely (marriage ABT 1769) - Mary was the daughter of GRAVELET, James - (but that's an if).[8]
Abner b. 1795 would have been the perfect age to be Abner b. 1770's first son. Maybe the records were lost? Maybe he was disowned? Maybe it's just a bizarre coincidence. However, another coincidence is the name "Lafayette" as both another of Abner b. 1770 sons and ALSO a descendant of Abner b. 1795.
I've read that Abner b. 1795 was born in Virginia and then moved to Knox County Tennesee and also that he was born in Knox County, Tennessee (its fairly close to Virginia).[9]
