ReplyDeleteJames and Mary were my great great grandparents. Their son Rufus was my great grandfather. I have always wanted to see a picture of them, I did not know one existed.
I would like to hear from you.

Hi Don, I am the niece of Nora Ledbetter. I would love to know more about our Abernathy genealogy. I am the daughter of Laurine Abernathy. We have some of your letters to Nora.
DeleteThank you for posting all these pictures! Just curious ... the file name for the first photo on this page says Stephen C & Mary Bates. Just wanted to confirm that the man is James Alexander Abernathy and the woman is Mary P. Vandiver (various spellings). Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting all these pictures! Just wanted to confirm something ... the file name for the first photo says Stephen C. & Mary Bates. But the photo shows James Alexander Abernathy and Mary P. Vandiver (various spellings), is that right? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes I made a mistake in naming this file. It should say "James A. Abernathy & Mary P. Vandiver.
