Looking for Abney ancestors
My name is Richard Abney from central Missouri. My father is Vern Abney, his father was Howard Payne Abney from Iowa. Howard's father was Paul Abney, probably from Illinois or Tennessee. Paul's father, I believe was Elias Abney. From there back gets a little sticky.
I believe that Elias's father was Paul Abney. We are now in the 1700's and it gets more confusing. I am looking for help.
