Gathering Giddens: Too Many Abrahams


I had planned to name this post Abraham Giddens a.k.a. Abram - Wayne County, North Carolina to Monroe County, Alabama but as I started writing, I realized that I did not have any direct evidence that connected Abraham of Wayne County, North Carolina to Abraham of Monroe County, Alabama. What if I am writing about the wrong Abraham Giddens? 

I have been collecting bits and pieces about Abraham Giddens of Conecuh and Monroe Counties since my first trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City in 2008, when I found both Abraham and Isaac Giddens in the vicinity of Monroe and Conecuh Counties. 

However, several individuals named Abraham Giddens were found when looking at U.S. census records and other peoples' family trees. Although my search is far from complete, I will not be looking at Abraham again in the near future and think it would be a good idea to share what I have learned so others will not repeat my research. 

Note that all of these Abraham Giddens were also seen as Abram and that there were many spelling variations for the name Giddens which include but are not limited to Giddins, Giddings, Geddings, Gideons, Gideon, and Giddons. 



 Abraham Giddens, son of John Giddens of Wayne County, North Carolina 
 
Abraham Giddens of Wayne County was named as a minor son of John Giddens in the above probate record. John died in 1802, and documents reveal that Abraham was considered a minor in 1815 and possibly as late as 1817.[1] 

The probate document pictured above indicates that Abraham may have sold his inherited land to his step-father, Jesse Flowers, in 1817. No deed record was found. However, Abraham was named in a deed when Asher Flowers (relationship to Jesse Flowers unknown) sold Abraham's inherited land in 1823 to David Giddens, Abraham's younger brother.[2]   

Abraham's date of birth is suspected to be in the late 1790s, so he would not have appeared as a head of household on the 1810 census and probably not as a young man on the 1820 census. Abram Giddins was found, in Wayne County, witnessing a deed along with his brother, Mitchel Giddins in February 1820.[3]


The last record I have of this Abraham Giddens was in nearby Sampson County. Court records show he purchased three horses and a wagon from Drewry Smith sometime prior to February Court in 1830, when this was proved in court by William Kelly.[4] 

My knowledge of John Giddens' son Abraham, who lived in Wayne County, stops here. He could have died as a young man, remained in the Wayne County area without appearing on any records, or he could be one of those additional Abraham Giddens found in census records and in other people's family trees. 

In all, there were twelve individuals named Abraham Giddens found on census records between 1820 and 1850. Many could be quickly eliminated as they were too old or too young to be Abraham, the son of John Giddens of Wayne County. 

I choose to write about the four Abrahams below as they were close to the age of Abraham, son of John Giddens of Wayne County, and/or found on multiple online family trees as the son of John Giddens of Wayne County. 


Isaac Giddens, brother of Abraham of Wayne County, attended the Belleville Baptist Church (pictured above) in Conecuh County, Alabama along with his children Mary, Matilda, and Sarah (with her husband, Daniel Spence). Also seen on the primarily undated rolls were Abraham Giddens, Mrs. A. Giddens, Elizabeth, and Betsy Giddens.[5]


Abraham Giddens of Conecuh and Monroe Counties, Alabama

I believe this Abraham Giddens is the most likely candidate to be the son of John Giddens, a planter in Wayne County, North Carolina. Abraham Giddens was found in Monroe County or nearby Conecuh County, Alabama on each census between 1830 and 1870. He was born in North Carolina, and on each census record, his age falls in the range of what would be expected of Abraham, the son of John of Wayne County.[6] 


Burnt Corn is a community on the boundary between Monroe County and Conecuh County. It is said that the village is in both Monroe and Conecuh. Although there are references to the village of Burnt Corn in several documents, I don't know if the Abraham Giddens family actually lived in Burnt Corn.  Burnt Corn Methodist Church is on the left and Burnt Corn Baptist church is on the right. [7]

When the Abraham Giddens family first arrived in Alabama, it was said they lived in Bermuda in Conecuh County. Bermuda is on the border of Conecuh and Monroe counties.[8] Abraham Giddens was in living in Conecuh County, Alabama in 1830. He had a wife, said to be Sarah Smith, and a young daughter, probably Elizabeth. Also reported on the census record were ten enslaved persons.[9] In 1840, the family continued to live in Conecuh County. On page twelve of the census record for Conecuh, Abraham and Sarah can be seen with five children and no enslaved persons.[10] Isaac Giddens and his family are also in Conecuh County and are found on page thirteen of that county's census record.[11]  

It was reported that Sarah died in 1847.[12] At the time of her death, Abraham and Sarah had the following known eight children. 
  • Elizabeth A. Giddens was born about 1828 in North Carolina. She married John N. Atkinson and was last found on the 1870 census record in Belleville, Conecuh, Alabama.[13] 
  • James T. Giddens was born about 1831 in Alabama. He was found at the age of 19 on the 1850 census of Monroe, Alabama.[14] 
  • Daniel Marion Giddens was born on 9 November 1835 in Alabama. He traveled to Texas in 1857 and moved to Red River Parish, Louisiana the following year. He first married Mary J. Armistead, who died in 1873 leaving two children. Two years later, he married Marietta Brown, and they had six children. Daniel Giddens died on 20 September 1905 and is buried in the Browne Cemetery in Red River Parish.[15] 
  • David Pinkney Giddens appeared to be known as Pinkney. He was born on 20 October 1836 in Conecuh County, served in the 17th Alabama Regiment in the Confederate Army, and later served in the Confederate Engineers. Pinkney Giddens lived in Pine Apple and was a bridge builder for Wilcox County for a number of years. He died on 16 March 1924 in Montgomery, Alabama.[16] 
  • Abraham Giddens was born on 7 November 1839. This matches the month and year reported on the 1900 census. Abraham went by the name Abram. He died on 28 August 1909 in Pine Apple, Wilcox County, Alabama. More about Abram can be seen in his obituary.[17]
  • Sarah J. Giddens was born about 1842 in Alabama. She was last seen on the 1880 U. S. Census living with her half-brother, William, his wife, his mother - Sarah's stepmother, and a nephew of William, 13-year-old Newton Giddens.[18] 
  • Phebe or Theby Giddens, born about 1844, was last seen on the 1860 U.S. Census living with her father's family.[19] 
  • Emily E. Giddens was born about 1846 in Alabama. She married Samuel Atkinson. It is not known if they had children. In 1880, the U.S. Census shows that Emily was sick with "cancer of the womb," and she was not found in records after this date.[20]  
Abraham married young Elizabeth Dunnam (also seen as Dunham) on 23 January 1848.  Elizabeth was born on 27 January 1824 in Alabama. Abraham and Elizabeth had six known children.[21]
  • William W. Giddens was born on 27 August 1842. He married Mary M. Rikard. William Giddens died on 11 December 1914. He is buried in the Bermuda Community Cemetery in Conecuh County.[22] 
  • Mary Giddens was born around 1851 and last found on the 1870 census at age 26.[23] 
  • Benjamin Franklin Giddens was born in 1853. He married Alice E. Cone in 1876 in Wilcox, Alabama. They had nine children. Benjamin died in October 1923, and Alice died in 1912. They are buried in the Shiloh Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in Monroe County.[24] 
  • Susan Ann Giddens was born on 22 September 1855. She married Thomas J. Bunting. Susan died on 2 July 1928 and is buried in the Cobbtown Holiness Cemetery in Santa Rosa County, Florida.[25] 
  • Carlie L. Giddens was born on 30 July 1858 in Alabama. She married William R. Shirley. Carlie died on 21 April 1926 and is buried in Rumbley Cemetery in Monroeville in Monroe County.[26] 
  • John Giddens is found on the 1870 U. S. Census with the Abraham Giddens family. He was three years old, giving him a birth year of about 1867. Nothing else can be found about John. Was he a son? Or, maybe grandson?[27] 
Abraham died in August 1878.[28] His burial place is unknown. Elizabeth died on 3 June 1900 and is buried in Puryearville Cemetery in Monroe County.[29] 


Abraham Giddens of Sumter, South Carolina

Abraham Giddens of Sumter, South Carolina is definitely not the Abraham of Wayne County, but the majority of online trees have included at least one of this Giddens' census records as part of the Wayne County Abraham's family tree, so I decided to include him.  

In 1820, this Giddens was Abram Giddins, and in later years, he was seen as Abraham Giddens and Abram Giddons. He was crossed off my list fairly quickly. In 1820, he was marked as older than 45. What appeared to be the same person in 1830 was between the ages of 50 and 59 and between 60 and 69 in 1840. Much too old to be Abraham Giddens, son of John.[30] 

Abraham Giddens of Onslow County, North Carolina

An Abraham Giddens of Onslow County, North Carolina, was the appropriate age in 1830 to be the son of John Giddens of Wayne County. Onslow is near Wayne County.[31] I have seen much about the Giddens of Onslow and know that I have some collected information. Time constraints keep me from looking at this family just now, but this is a family I plan to look at in the near future. 


Abraham Giddens of Pulaski County, Georgia

Abraham Giddens of Pulaski County, Georgia, was another Abraham the appropriate age to be the son of John Giddens of Wayne County. He was found in the 1830 census in Pulaski County with a wife and child under age five.[32] He married Frances Stegall in 1828 in Pulaski County.[33] A Benjamin Stegall was found directly above Abraham Giddens's name on the 1830 census record.[34] In 1840, both Abraham Giddens and Benjamin Stegall were found in Lee County, Georgia.[35] It is assumed that Abraham died prior to 1850 as only his wife and children are listed on the 1850 census. Note that there are other Stegalls on the same page.[36] Several of the 75 Public Family Trees at Ancestry.com for this Abraham Giddens names a Moses Giddens as his father but, documentation was not found.[37] 

Next Steps

Abraham Giddens of Pulaski County, Abraham Giddens of Onslow County, and Abraham Giddens of Monroe and Conecuh Counties are individuals who are closest in age to Abraham Giddens, son of John, the planter of Wayne County. Although I believe Abraham of Monroe and Conecuh is probably John's son, more research of each of these Abrahams would be beneficial. 

Pulaski County
Abraham Giddens of Pulaski County might be fairly easy to research online as many Pulaski County records are available on FamilySearch. It will be more difficult in Lee County as many of that county's records burned.[38] Evidence needs to be found to answer the question, "How do you know he is not the son of John Giddens of Wayne County?"

Onslow County
The same question should be asked about Abraham Giddens of Onslow County. There will be an added benefit to researching this Abraham. Onslow and Wayne are in the same area of North Carolina and researching this family may help to find a connection between the two families. Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac are names found in both the Onslow and Wayne county families. 

Alabama
Even though I have spent much time looking in Alabama records for the Conecuh and Monroe county Abraham, there is much more that can be done. Land and court records may reveal much and show a direct connection to the family. Monroe County land records are not digitized and have not been searched. I have searched most available Conecuh records but many were burned and almost nothing is available until after 1866.[39] 

John Giddens of Wayne County had three other sons who moved to Alabama - John of Madison County, Isaac of Monroe County, and Jacob of Barbour County. A look at records from these counties would be interesting but many of these records are not digitized. At this time, visits to the county courthouses in Alabama or to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City are the only ways to view most land and court records in these counties.[40] 

Remember Abraham's purchase of a wagon and horses in Sampson County? Was this for a journey to Alabama? Who was Drewry Smith who sold him the wagon and horses? Abraham who lived in Monroe and Conecuh counties had a wife who is said to be Sarah Smith. Researching the Drewry Smith and other Smiths in or near Wayne County may tell more. And, if this Abraham did make the journey to Alabama, who did he go with? The communities in Alabama were small. Cluster research of others on the census records with Abraham will reveal some who may have traveled with him.
