ABSOLOM(4) 1774-aft 1830

Absolom was born in Hampshire Co., VA (now WV) on April 17, 1774, where his parents, Arthur Chenoweth and Elspa Lawrence were recorded in a 1783 Census by John's uncle, Levi Ashbrook. While still young, his parents moved to Jefferson Co., KY where other families of John(2) had located. Absolom married at the age of 20 to Eleanor Duvall in Nelson Co., KY on February 19, 1795. She was of similar age, the daughter of John Miles Duvall and Anne Rosella Philomena Tarleton. John Duvall had died enroute to Kentucky from Maryland. Absolom was incorrectly placed in Perry Co., OH by Cora Hiatt and given the wrong family. Instead he and Eleanor had a family of 4 all born in Kentucky and went to Illinois about the same time as his brother John, just before 1820. It is believed that Absolom and Eleanor both died there while the children were not yet of age. The dates and places are unknown.
