ABRAHAM(3) OF PIKE CO., OH 1770-1845
The last child of Thomas Chenoweth and Mary Prickett, Abraham was probably named for Mary's brother who lived next to the Chenoweths on Back Creek in Frederick County, Virginia. It is not known whether Abraham was born there in Frederick County or near old Town in present day Allegany Co., MD where the family moved sometime in the 1760s or 1770s. Abraham went with his married brothers to Mason County, Kentucky. There he met and married sixteen old Rebecca Kerr, daughter of Samuel Kerr. Abraham was twenty at the time. Six years later, he settled with his brother Arthur on the Pee Pee Prairie, north of present day Piketon. At the time he and Rebecca had four children. They would live here for the rest of their lives and their family would grow to a total of 14 children. Their descendants represent the youngest known male lines of the Chenoweth family today. Abraham lived to the age of 75, outliving Rebecca by 14 years. Abraham and Rebecca lived about three quarters of a mile north of Piketon. Here a small family cemetery was started, known today as the Chenoweth-Patterson cemetery. Rachel's headstone can still be found there today, and it is believed that Abraham is buried here as well, though the exact location is unknown. The family of Abraham is remarkably well documented by a genealogy study done by his son Joel. Some sons of Abraham stayed in Ohio, others went to Indiana, Illinois and Iowa.
