Biography

1776 Project
Sergeant Samuel Abney Sr served with Upper Ninety-Six District Regiment, South Carolina Militia during the American Revolution.
Daughters of the American Revolution
Samuel Abney Sr is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A000254.

Samuel Abney, Sr. was born in 1715, in Virginia. At the time of the American Revolutionary War, Samuel and his wife, Martha Collins made their residence in the Ninety-Six District of South Carolina, where Samuel served in the military as a Sergeant. Samuel is honored for his military service by the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution as DAR Ancestor A000254 [1]. Although the Genealogy of the Mays family and related families to 1929 inclusive [2] states that Dorcas Abney was the daughter of Samuel Abney, Sr. this was later disproven by Sam Mays [3]

According to a family letter in my possession, Samuel Abney Sr. was killed in a raid conducted by a Tory renegade named Cunningham, whose men swept through the Edgefield District and killed men known to be on the Patriot side. Samuel Abney was back home on his farm after participating in the battle of Eutaw Springs, which was the last major engagement in the Carolinas.
