ABSOLUM(3) 1745-1773

Absolum was the sixth child of John and Mary Smith Chenoweth. He was probably the first son with the Chenoweth name to be born in Virginia after the family relocated to Frederick County, though his Carter cousins of his Aunt Hannah appear to be the first Virginia-born Chenoweth descendants. At the age of about 20, Absolum married a Ruth in Frederick County; her parents, age and place of birth are unknown. Traditionally Ruth surname has been given as Ruth Morgan. Some feel she may have been Ruth Carter, the daughter of Hannah Chenoweth and James. Little is known of Absolum, as he died in Berkeley County at about 28 years old. Three children are known; all thought to be born in Berkeley County. Absolum left his will proven on June 15, 1773, naming his wife Ruth and his nephew, William, who had been bound to him to learn the blacksmith trade.
