ABERNATHY, "Fed" The Pulaski (TN) Citizen 10 Aug 1932.
Died August 5, 1932, age 83 years. Thus passes from the stage of the pioneers of our county; while "Fed" was not as old as some of the other residents, he was connected with the past as perhaps no other man in Giles County. Fed and his father, Elisha Abernathy lived in a large part of three centuries-the latter part of 1700-all of 1800 and 32 years of 1900.
"Fed's" father, Elisha, my father's grandfather, Jimmy "Dry" Abernathy, Turner Abernathy, and John H. Birdsong, came to this country from North Carolina about 1816. All of them settled in the cane brakes about four miles east of Tarpley Shop on what is now the old stage road, each one at a large spring. "Fed" owned at his death part of this original tract of land.
Most of the original tracts of land where these pioneers settled are still in the hands of the families who inherited them.
Much could be written about this one branch of the Abernathy family provided your paper could contain it.
Suffice to say Frederick Abernathy was my great-great-grandfather. He had several childen, one of whom was Jimmy "Dry" Abernathy, my great-grandfather. Jimmy "Dry" had eleven children as follows: Turner Abernathy, Adline, Colston (Moulton's grandfather), Hardy, Elbert, Rebecca, Cape, Hartwell (my grandfather), John C., Levi, Sterling.
Anyone interested may obtain the names, etc., of the heirs of all of the above named eleven children by request. All of the above information together with much additional information was given me by my father who is still living and remembers all these facts.
