William Pinkney Abbott was born January 7, 1838. It has not been
determined whether he was born in SC, GA, or TN. William was a Civil War
Veteran as were his two brothers, Kims and Starlin. In later years Kims
ran a General Store in Gainesville, Georgia. William was a fairly
successful farmer; his War pens- ion helped make life even more comfortable.
William also had a blacksmith shop in his home. Some of the Abbotts
raised sheep.
William's parents were Levi Abbott (1812-1885) and Dotia/ Dosha (Henderson)
Abbott (1811-1888). Dotia's maiden name has been verified by a slip
of paper found in William's Bible and by the book, "The Annals of Haywood
County." Levi has a sister, Susie, who married a Watts and went to
live in South Hominy.
On June 2, 1870, William married Harriet Elizabeth Rhodarmer (1851-1923),
daughter of Noah and Maryann (Henson) Rhodarmer. William died December
9, 1931. He and Harriet are buried at Morning Star Cemetery, Canton,
NC.
Oral family history says that once a year the family would travel to Georgia
in a covered wagon. It would take about a week, and they'd camp along
the way. At night they'd have to build a fire to keep the panthers
away.
William and Harriet were parents of: Mary Jane (1873-1954) who married
Amos Jerome Shope; Laura (1874-1959); John Marion (1877-1956) who married
1st Bonnie Grahl, 2nd Belle Rankin; Caldonia "Donie" (1879-1958) who married
S.H. Miller; and Lura (1882-1961).
