His wife's name was Sibyl, but her last name is unknown.

Children

His last Will mentioned sons Abraham, Jacob, Dempsey, David; and daughters Mary, Sarah, Nancy. It is believed he may also have had a daughter named Sybil.

Will

Abraham made his will on 30 Jan 1771 in Granville, SC. Executors of will approved 13 Mar. 1771; will probated 6 April 1771. He mentions his plantation on Pipe Creek in Granville Co, and the tract of land on the Savannah River (Edgefield), formerly owned by Dennis McClendon and McClendon bought from Mr. DeLoatch. His wife was not mentioned in his will, so it is assumed she had died by then. Abraham mentioned four sons and three daughters in his will: Abraham (received two slaves); David (received "one-half land where I now live on upper side of Pipe Creek"); Dempsey (received the other one-half land described above); Mary (m. Parker Carradine); Sarah (m. unknown Rooke); Nancy (m. unknown Deloth); Jacob (received "land that was Mr. Lototes" [DeLoach?] "purchased of Dennis McClendon."). Sons David, Jacob, and Dempsey were executors. [2]

Notes

http://edgefield-williams-family.blogspot.com Notes The Jacob referred to here was born 1733, son of Abraham , son of this Jacob

there are definitely questions as to which Abraham married Sybill Barnes -the ca 1700 brn or the 1725-and I think it was the earlier one and she did NOT have a child in 1780 as so many people are saying. This has to be wrong. I will continue to work on it.

"The wife of Snowden (Kirkland), Sybil, may have been the daughter of Abraham Odom who's family and immigration pattern follows closely to the Kirklands. Richard Odom, Abraham's father, owned land in Nansemond Co., Virginia and moved by 1715 to Chowan Co., North Carolina. This region eventually becomes part of Edgecombe and Granville Counties in which the Kirklands are documented to have lived. Abraham Odom submitted three petitions for land on the Wateree River in South Carolina on 18 Dec. 1754 on which the Kirklands had filed claims. Both Abraham's wife and a daughter were named Sybil. They started to sell their land on the Wateree River on the 6th March of 1760 and moved to Georgia by 1764. They seemed to have moved back to South Carolina with at least two purchases on the waters of the Savannah River in 1767. These are the same regions in which Robert and Snowden Kirkland had tracts of land. Snowden's property was adjacent to Abraham Odom on Pipes Creek in South Carolina. The circumstantial continuous relationship from Virginia days is very strong and indicates for Peacock and a few other researchers the probability of a marital relationship between Abraham Odom and Snowden Kirkland. No marriage record, probate record, or church record has verified this conclusion." [Peacock 101-103]
