Note: This court paper list the children for Davis and Cinderella Abbott. Theiroldest son is listed as William. On the 1830 census for Stokes Co. their oldestson is listed as being born 1825-1830. On the 1850 census Cinderella hasArmistead (13) and Joseph (11). On the 1840 census Davis only had two sons under 5(Armistead and Joseph) and a son 10-14 (William). Therefore William was born1826-1830 and not 1839 as most genealogies have him as being born. Also on the 1850 censusCinderella does not have a son named William living with her. It is still possiblethat our William was the son of Elisha Abbott born 1801 but I would say that it isprobably about 90% chance that our William is Davis Abbott's son.

C.C.C. *************************************************************************************************************** From Vicksburg the Regiment was ordered to Memphis, Tenn., and participated in the expedition to and battle of Guntown, Miss., June 10, 1864. The Eighty-first and Ninety-fifth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, being the only regiments belonging to the Red River expedition participating in this expedition, commanded by General Sturgis, who proved himself to be a thoroughly incompetent commander. The Eighty-first was the first Infantry Regiment to open fire, and continued under fire from 11 a.m. until dark, resisting charge after charge of the enemy, forming the last line of battle some two miles in the rear of the first line, closing the bloody drama with a loss of 9 killed, 18 wounded, and 126 prisoners, out of a total of 371 men. Of the number captured, six were line officers, who, while prisoners of war, were placed under the fire of the Union batteries at Charleston, S. C. The enlisted men were sent to Andersonville prison. The true history of the sufferings of our comrades in Andersonville prison can never be written. The mind of man can not convey to tongue or pen a language sufficient to portray the realization of the sufferings of the 30,000 Union soldiers who gave up their lives, or the survivors of that terrible imprisonment. No brighter page adorns the pages of the history of heroic soldiers than the heroism shown by our comrades who, while starving to death by inches, refused the daily offer of health and liberty by simply taking the oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. In every case the offer was rejected by members of the Eighty-first. *************************************************************************************************************** Pension: Declaration of Adult child of William Abbott pri Co.
