O. Absher wrote in the Heritage of Wilkes County Book that <a href="abshire1.html">John Absher, Sr.</a>, William Absher 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 William Absher and Nancy Jennings<BR> Jeremiah Absher (abt.. 1789-1816) (did not marry)<BR> John Absher (ca. 1792) (moved to Barren County, KY)<BR> Elizabeth Absher (1798-1883) m. <a href="abshire1.html">William Absher</a> (1793-1848)<BR> Gowan Absher (1797-1869) m. 1) <a href="http://www.fmoran.com/whitley.html">Sarah Wheatley</a> (abt. 1797-1822); 2) <a href="abshire1.html">Jane Absher</a><BR> Mary Absher (ca. 1798-1821) (did not marry)<BR> Edmond Absher (1799) (moved to Barren County, KY)<BR> Allen Absher (1801) (moved to Barren County, KY)<P> <HR> Second Generation<P> Children of Gowan Absher and 1) Sarah Wheatley<BR> Susan Absher (1819) m.
