Abernathy Lineage

According to PlacesNamed.com, "Abernathy" is the 1,685th most popular last name in the U. S.

My ggg-grandmother was an Abernathy. Mary Eliza Abernathy (1848-1889) was married to Wilson Martin (1840-1938).

I am indebted to a couple of Abernathy descendants and researchers for sharing their information with me. Had it not been for them, I would not have had history all the way to Ireland.
