Lucy,
Have just looked at some stuff on Ancestry which you submitted.
The
Abraham B. Vickers in Decatur County was son of Nathan
Vickers. He was born 18 Dec. 1815 according to Nathan's
Bible record. I figure that he was born in
Burke Co,
Ga as that was where Nathan lived up until ca 1824. Nathan was in
Pulaski in 1826 from deed record. Nathan got land patent in
Leon Co., Fl 13 Aug. 1827.
Nathan died 27 May 1847 in
Decatur Co. He is buried at Tired Creek Methodist Church, Grady Co. Ga by his wife Elizabeth Jane
Moore who died 11 March 1841.
I suspect that Nathan named this son
Abraham after his uncle
Abraham who gave him land.
That deed in Book G p. 207, 5 Jan 1814,
Pulaski Co,
Ga was witnessed by a John
Vickers and an
Emanuel Bennett. Do you suppose that
Bennett was one of your connections? The deed is from
Abraham of
Pulaski to Nathan
Vickers, esq. of Co. of
Burke, for love, goodwill and affection, reserving a life estate in 202& 1/2acres of 20th
Wilkinson, now
Pulaski, Lot 242.
Deed Book H, p. 46,
Pulaski Co,
Ga l Sept. 1828,
Hardy and Nathan
Vickers, Adms. of estate of
Abraham Vickers of
Pulaski sold lot 238, 20th dist to Elizabeth
Posey, widow of
Humphrey Posey.
The estate of
Abraham that Nathan &
Hardy were administrators of started 20 Jan 1824-Book of Estate Returns 1822-1824,
Pulaski Co. and seemed to go on for a number of years, even to when Nathan was in
Leon Co.
There were two Abrahams-1820
Ga. Census- one
Abraham in
Jefferson Co. and one
Abram in
Pulaski. On the 1805 Land lottery there was an
Abraham who got 1 draw (indicating a single man) and one who got 2 draws (indicating a married man). They were in
Washington Co.
