OH! Sorry, Mad4Mud, I read that wrong! I didn't see the war of 1812! Thank you! It is entirely possible the spelling was mixed up. I've seen it both ways in family lore, but in my ggranddad's bio and obit it was "Abram," for both of them.

Thanks, both of you, very much. Next to music, genealogy is one of my favourite things to do and learn about, esp. with friends!
