Rev. Abe:

Thank you very much for responding to my message about
Nimrod and Mary Abe. I am trying to locate a copy of
the Abe Book that you spoke about.

I visited the Abe cemetery in Wiley Ford, WV the
weekend after Thanksgiving. Mary's headstone has her
birth year listed as 1876 rather than 1887. All other
dates are correct.

I currently know of two of their four children:
Beatrice Clove (March 23, 1900 to May 16, 1932) and
Frank M. (December 22, 1906 to May 16, 1953). Frank
is buried with his mother and father in the cemetery.
Beatrice married Edgar See in 1922 and had four
children: Earl Martin (May 14, 1923 to July 8, 1995),
Margaret Elizabeth Sallie (February 14, 1925 to
December 27, 1998), Jessie Edward (November 24, 1928
to June 28, 1930, and Clair Virginia (February 11,
1931 to August 12, 1932). Beatrice and children
Jessie and Clair are also buried in the Abe cemetery.

I am descended from Margaret E.S. See who married
Franklin James Nixon in 1947. They are my
grandparents. Both have passed away.

I also have a newspaper article from my grandmother
for Fred and Jacob Abe. From the article I know that
Fred Abe was Nimbrod's father. Nimrod had three
siblings (Hiram Abe, Mrs. G. S. Baldwin, Mrs. G. W.
Baldwin) and a step-brother named George Spangler.
There was a double funeral service at the same church
in Wiley Ford so I think Fred and Jacob may be
brothers. I was really suprised to find out that
Nimrod married Mary Baldwin. His two sisters also
married Baldwin's. Are all of the Baldwin's related?

I would appreciate it if you could look up a few
things for me in your Abe book if you get a chance:
1) Name of Fred Abe's wife
2) Names of Nimrod's sisters
3) Names of Nimrod's other two children

I hope some of the information that I provided about
my Abe line is helpful to. I would really appeciate
your assistance with my research.

Thanks,
Victoria Nixon
