First Families of Edgefield County South Carolina
Abney Family
These Abneys all obtained grants of land before the Revolutionary War; but there were several others, not yet mentioned, to whom lands were granted after the war. John Abney, February 5th, 1798; Paul Abney, February 5th, 1798; Samuel Abney, January 7th, 1811. As large as this family was at the beginning of the century, and for some years afterwards, there are but few persons who now bear the name in Edgefield County. I should have mentioned just above, that the Rev. Mark Abney, so well known at Edgefield and in the county; the good, the pious Christian and useful Baptist preacher, was also a descendant, a grandson, of Nathaniel Abney and Isabella Madison.
