Pvt (CSA) Robert Thomas B. Abrams

Born

• 1812
• 1815 (per 1880 census)
• 1821

Slaves

• Owned 4 slaves according to Williamsburg County, SC 1850 slave schedule
• Owned 7 slaves according to Williamsburg County, SC 1860 slave schedule

I don't think Robert T B Abrams is son of Thomas B Abrams, because RTB is not mentioned in the will of TB as a child. Brothers?

Possibly son of Thomas B(randon) Abrams and Isabella McDaniel Abrams. (T. B. = Robert T. B. Abrams?) Listed on 1810 census at B Thomas Abraham, 1820 census as B Thomas Abrahams.

On 1850 census for non-person schedule, there is a Thomas B Abrams listed on same page as two William Haseldens. Could these be the neighboring parents of RTB and Harriet Haselden?

• listed as 50 years old in 1861 service
• Tenth Infantry A-Cl
• Discharge in 1862 with disability
• Listed in Williamsburg County, South Carolina History, 1705-1923, p. 349 incorrectly as 40 years old, but a Private in 10th Infantry. In Company E, mustering on July 19, 1861 at White's Bridge.

Death

• living in 1880 with son according to census. 65 year old man R T B Abrams living with R J Abrams, residing next to Agnes Abrams Kirton.
• possibly died before 1881 as the court case showed Agnes sold the land he had been living on/he had been in charge of. "January 17, 1881, the daughter, Agnes, joined by her husband, James M. Kirton, conveyed, by a general warranty deed, a tract of 142 acres of the land described in the trust deed to one W.B. Nelson"
