Note: N36 1820 U.S. Census Greenup Co., KY for John Bush (grandfather) and Aaron & Mary Meadows Bush (Uncle & half-sister) show no children the age of Abraham. I speculate that Abraham came to Greenup Co. between 1820 and 1825 (the date of his marriage). He would be between the age of 12 to 16. I would believe that he would have needed some time to meet Sarah Bateman before they married.
This would indicate that Abraham is one of the children at home at the time Francis gives his pension application in Monroe Co., VA.
