Hello
Silas Ables or Abel born about 1875 in Winston co Al and his brother Mark Ables born in 1888 in Walker co Al were in Choctaw co Oklahama before 1910. Silas Ables was married to an Annie. Their father was Thomas M Ables or Abel who was also listed in the 1910 Choctaw co OK census living with the Rone family. He was born in 1832 in tennessee and his family went to eastern Alabama about 1835.He was in Winston co Al by 1860. He married Lucinda Ray about 1862 in Winston CO Al. They were listed in the 1900 Fayette co Al census living on rented land in the Glen Allen Al area. Thomas M Ables was listed as a widower in the 1910 Choctaw co OK census so Lucinda Ray Ables died between 1900 and 1910 in Al or OK. Do you think this family was related to your Ables. Hav you heard the Ables were native American? thanks,Ross

Albert Ables

machovsky199 — 2009-10-06 02:45:09Z

I am looking for any relatives of an Albert Fountain Ables. He was born May 2, 1877, in Parsons, Kansas, and died February 4, 1974, in San Jose, California, and was buried in Ogden, Utah. Married twice: first to Mary Alice Ball, then Harriet May Williams, who was my Great-Great Grandmother. No Children.

My family has some old Family Group Sheets of his ancestors, and some photos of his childhood home and family, and we don't know who to give them to.

Any response is greatly appreciated.

Silas Ables born aboiut 1776 in Winston co Alabama

rsmith6670 — 2009-10-01 06:00:09Z

Silas Ables was the son of Thomas M Ables or Abel and Lucinda Ray. He was born about 1876 in Winston co Alabama. He married an Annie. The family went to Choctaw co Al before 1910. He is found in the 1920 Lamar co Texas census.Would anyone have info about Silas Ables? thanks

rsmith6670 — 2009-10-01 05:03:34Z

Hello
Silas Ables was listed in the 1920 Lamar co Tx census living in justice precint 5. The name Ables was mispelled. It appears in the census as Allas. His wife was named Annie. He was born about 1776 in Winston co Alabama. His father wa Thomas M Abel or Ables and his mother was Lucinda Ray.His children were Hazel born about 1901,Lola born about 1806,Effie born about 1911,Abbey and Alley born about 1913. Silas Ables was listed in the 1910 Choctaw co Oklahoma census as Silous Ables living in the Jeter Ok area of Choctaw co Ok. I can not find Silas Ables on the 1930 Lamar co Texas census. Thomas M Abel or Ables and Lucinda Ray, parents of Silas Ables, were married in 1862 in Winston co Al. They lived in Winston co Al and Walker co Al and were listed in the 1900 Fayette co Al census. Lucinda Ray Ables must have died shortly after 1900 in Al or Ok. Thomas M Ables was listed in the 1910 Choctaw co Ok census living with the Rone family. I do not know why the Abels or Ables went to Choctaw co OK. I know Oklahoma became a state in 1907. Maybe they gave land away. Lamar co Tx is the county just south of Choctaw co OK. Could you help me find some information about the Silas Ables family in Lamar co Tx in the 1920's? Thanks,Ross

Hi Robert, I am Melba Ables Halbrook and I would be so happy to get any information on my family. You must be a really nice man to offer your help and I will gladly accept it.
I was the only child of my dad, Joseph William Ables, and my mom, Martha Lucille Weems. I have a first cousin who has helped me with my family information. He spells his name Abel; I spell mine Ables, but we know we are related.
Thank you for your offer and I accept it gladly.

Would someone with cemetery records about Fayette co Al please check to see if there is a record about where Lucinda Elizabeth Ables wass buried? Thanks,Ross

Alabama/Mississippi Ables

sillvery — 2009-01-22 17:29:06Z

I have been researching the Ables. My great grandmother is Ada Dell Ables and great grandfather is Joe Sephus Ables. No one remembers anything about Ada Dell except that she moved to Mississippi from Alabama and had to take care of her brothers and sisters. No one remembers why. Also, I think Ada Dell had a sister named Betty. My mother and aunts say that Ada Dell looked like she had a good bit of American Indian in her. Maybe Cherokee.....
Both Joe Sephus and Ada Dell are buried at Harlands Creek Cemetery...I cannot find anything on her anywhere. I don't know who her parents were, where she came from. I noticed that there are a lot of Ables on this message board that have the middle name "Dell". "Dell" is also my middle name. Could there be a connection. Please help if you have any information. Thank you so much.

Re: Landon W. Abels and Other Abell/Abel/Abels/Ables Family Members, Leake and Attala Counties, Mississippi, 1841-1849

tables121 — 2008-11-15 03:15:20Z

Which Landon? Is yours the one who's the subject of my posting (b. ca. 1820, Tenn., and d. ca. 1849, Attala Co., Miss.)? Or is he the son of William A. Abels who appears as a 10-year-old in the 1850 U.S. Census of Attala Co. (and probably was named for the Landon W. Abels b. ca. 1820 and d. ca. 1849)? Or is he another Landon Abel/Abels/Ables?

Landon W. Abels and Other Abell/Abel/Abels/Ables Family Members, Leake and Attala Counties, Mississippi, 1841-1849

tables121 — 2008-11-14 23:18:02Z

The following is evidence (and speculation based on it) about an individual named Landon W. Abels/Ables/Abell (and others believed to be his relations) in Leake and Attala counties, Miss., during the period 1841 to 1849. Other researchers have identified a Landon C. Abels as a son of James Abel (b. 26 May 1795, S.C.) and indicated that he (Landon) lived in central Mississippi during this period. Based on the evidence below, Landon W. Abels/Ables/Abell and Landon C. Abels likely are the same individual, and hence the correct name is more likely Landon W. Abels. Other researchers have also identified Landon Abels as the first husband of Margaret Caroline McFatter Abel/Abels, who appears as head of household 171 in the 1850 U.S. Census of Attala Co. (Spelling of names herein is as appears in the original documents.)

1841 State Census of Mississippi, Leake Co., page 2, L.W. Abels, 1 male. Also appearing in Leake Co. in the same state census (but on page 1) are James Abels (6 males, 3 females), Wm Abels (3 males, 3 females), and a second Wm Abels (5 males, 5 females). [A year earlier, in the 1840 U.S. Census of Leake Co., Miss., the listing for W.C. Abel (likely William C. Abel, b. 10 Oct 1819, Tenn.) shows 1 male, 1 female, and that for W.A. Abel (likely William A. Abels, b. ca. 1810, Tenn.) shows 3 males, 3 females. Thus, if the households of the two Wm Abels in 1841 are the same as those of W.C. Abel and W.A. Abel in 1840, the total number of males has increased by 4 and of females also by 4. Who might these eight additional individuals be?] The listing of L.W. Abels in the 1841 state census (and not in the 1840 U.S. Census) could also indicate that he has reached age 21 by 1841, particularly since he is listed as a separate, single-member household. If so, his birth year would likely be ca. 1820. And he appears not to have married Margaret Caroline McFatter by the date of the 1841 state census since no female is listed with him.

1844 Landon W. Abell (along with Wm Abel and Joseph Abel) is assessed on the Attala Co., Miss., personal property tax list as a free white poll; i.e., a male over age 21.

1846 Landon W. Ables (along with Wm A. Ables) is assessed on the Attala Co., Miss., personal property tax list as a free white poll.

1847 Landon W. Abels (along with James Abels, William Abels, and Iom Abels) is assessed on the Attala Co., Miss., personal property tax list as a free white poll.

1848 Landon Ables (along with Abner Ables, William W. [likely for “Whitehead”] Ables, Jn Ables, W.A. Ables, and James Ables) is assessed on the Attala Co., Miss., personal property tax list as a free white poll. (William W. Ables is also assessed for two slaves under age 60, and James Ables $8 for a stallion.)

1849 Landon Abell/Abels/Ables DOES NOT APPEAR on the Attala Co., Miss., personal property tax list (nor on tax lists of other central Mississippi counties), although Abner H. Ables, James Ables, Wm Ables Jr., Whitehead C. Ables, Joel [Joe?] Ables, and Isham W. Ables do appear on it. (Whitehead C. Ables is also assessed for a slave under age 60.)

The 1849 entry for “Wm Ables Jr.” may be significant in sorting out relationships among these Ables. If the suffix “Jr.” is correct and this individual is the W.A. Ables/Abels who appears in the 1850 U.S. Census of Attala Co. as age 35, b. Tenn. (and on the 1846 and 1848 tax lists above and also in three subsequent U.S. censuses indicating he was born ca. 1810), then he is most likely the youngest son of William C. Abel/Abell (b. ca. 1775, S.C.), not the eldest son of James Abel (b. 26 May 1795) as frequently reported by other researchers. The Whitehead C. Ables listed above would be William C. “Whitehead” Abel (b. 10 Oct 1819, Tenn.), and would thus be the eldest son of James Abel (b. 26 May 1795), and his name would conform with a common convention of the era of naming a firstborn son after the father’s father; i.e., William C. Abel (firstborn son of James Abel) named after the father (William C. Abel/Abell, b. ca. 1775, S.C.) of his father, James Abel (b. 26 May 1795). Also, a William Ables (age 85, b. S.C.) is listed in household 108 in the 1860 U.S. Census of Carroll Co., Miss., which is the household of Joseph Porter and his wife Adeline [Abel/Abels] Porter, who is believed to be the eldest daughter of James Abel (b. 26 May 1795, S.C.). This 85-year-old William Ables would be William C. Abel/Abell (b. 1775, S.C.) and thus the grandfather of Adeline Porter. Next door to the Porters is household 107, headed by William Ables (age 50, b. Tenn.) who would be William A. Abels/Ables (b. ca. 1810, Tenn.), the youngest son of William C. Abel/Abell (b. 1775, S.C.). The old lion, William C. Abel/Abell (b. 1775, S.C.), residing in his last years with and under the watchful eye of these two households, would tend to confirm them as the households of his eldest granddaughter and his youngest son; i.e., “Wm Ables Jr.” from the 1849 tax list. William C. Abel (b. 10 Oct 1819, Tenn.), who also would be a grandson of William C. Abel/Abell (b. 1775, S.C.), and his family were living in Madison Co., Miss., at the time of the 1860 U.S. Census.

Other researchers have observed that Landon Abels “disappears” prior to the 1850 U.S. Census in Mississippi, in which his apparent widow (Margaret Caroline McFatter Abel/Abels) and three children (William J., Martha, and Mary Ann Abel) appear without him. From the above entries, it is speculated that Landon W. Abels/Ables/Abell died ca. 1849, most likely in Attala Co., Miss.

you might find the cemetery where your parents are buried by visiting the library in the town where you think they died. Sometimes they will have a book listing the cemeteries and names of the burials in each. Volunteers search and plot the cemeteries and donate their info to the libraries.
