O. Absher wrote in the Heritage of Wilkes County Book that John Absher, Sr., <a href="abshire2.html">William Absher</a> and Sarah <a href="rhodes.html">(Rhodes)</a> Absher were siblings. Family tradition has it that the father returned to Ireland for some unknown reason and that the mother "managed" to marry a man by the name of Hall. Mr. Hall moved to Wilkes county with his Absher family about 1785. It is believed they came from Bedford County, VA. Mr. Hall and his family settled on Mulberry Creek. - <EM>Heritage of Wilkes County published by the Wilkes County Genealogical Society </EM><P> <HR> First Generation<P> Children of John A.
