Biography
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Harbour-252
Abner Harbour, son of Thomas Harbour & Sarah Witt, was born ca.1730 in Virginia. Abner married Joyce Thornhill (b. 1732 Virginia) around 1750.Abner lived near Irwin's River on Sycamore Creek.Thomas deeded him the 204 acre tract there on 17 August 1763. [1]
Abner witnessed several deeds for his brothers and father and it appears that he was the only one to leave his mark via a signature. Sycamore Creek lies in what is now Patrick County.Abner's Ridge in Patrick is near his old farm. Part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, it is said to be named after him.
Abner died in 1778 in Henry County, VA., leaving his land to his four sons, and other items to all his unnamed children. His widow Joyce remained in Virginia.
Abner Harbour and Joyce Thornhill were early settlers of Patrick County, VA. It is said that he was run out of Patrick County by the Indians. (?)
There is a mountain called "Abners Ridge" that is supposed to be named for him. This ridge runs from Buffalo Ridge to near Elamsville, VA.
