1. Alternate place of birth for Abraham: Minisink Valley, Deerpark, Suffolk, Orange County, New York, but since he was christioned at Kingston it is more likely he was born at Kingston too.
2. Revolutionary Service of Abraham Kuykendall has been accepted by the D.A.R. as Civil Service rather than Military Service. As a civil servant, Abraham was a member of the Safety Committe ofr Tyron County, formed 26 Jul 1775 (See Colonial Records of North Carolina, Vol. 10, Page 120; also see Vol 22, page 820. Shortly after the Revolutionary Ward began, Abraham was appointed as a Commissioner of Tryon County to build a Court House, Prison, Stocks, and to establish a boundary line betweenTyron and Mecklenburg Counties by authority of Laws of North Carolina, Vo. 20, Cap. 12, Page 964. He also served as Justice of The Peace, Tryon County 17 Dec 1778. The History of Old Tryon and Rutherford Counties by, C. W. Griffin on page 10 says that he was a Captain of the Militia for Tryon County, and pges 31, 32, & 33 of this History shows Captain Kuykendall on duty as a Captain on and after July 1776.
3. On an undated list of Petitioners published in the Bulletin Genealogical Society of Old Tryon Co., NC Vol. XXIV November 1996 Number 4 Titled "We are all Become One People Again" from N C General Assembly Session Records, November-December 1796. The Petition is a number of inhabitants of Rutherford County for the purpose of repealing a British Law which was in existance prior to the Revolution, as a means of peace and harmony in the County. It includes a number of Old Abraham Kuykendall's sons and son-in-law and grandsons. Listed as such known by me ar the following: Jacob Kuykendall, Abraham McMinn, Robert McMinn, Abraham Kuykendall, James Kuykendall, JNO Kuykendall, Capt. Peter Kuykendall, and others known by me to be related to the Kuykendall families are Samuel Young (wife Elizabeth Kuykendall) son-in-law of Abraham Kuykendall's brother Peter Kuykendall, Isaac Vinzan, brother-in-law of Abraham Kuykendall, Jr. {Posted by Betty Kuykendall Price}
3. Alternate place of death: Buncombe County, North Carolina, and buried in the Mud Creek Cemetery...per Wanda H. Arnold, 3409 58th, Lubbock, TX 79413, Family Group Sheet dated 1994.
4. In the 1803 Census Abraham was listed living alone (widower) with (7-8) slaves.
5. Since Abraham & Elizabeth married in 1843 some seven years prior to the first known child, it is now speculated that there were other children that may have been born and died from any number of things such as Indian raids & etc.
1. Bathsheba's Maiden name could very well have been Thomas, and a daughter of John Thomas, Sr., however, this is not proven.
2. Bathsheba was a young Widow with 4 small sons when she married Abraham.
3. 1810 Buncombe County, North Carolina, Census listed Bathshea as female 26/45. The four males under 5 were not Abrahams.
4. She would have had to either have 2 sets of twins or one child every year to have 4 children in five years. At age 94, it is not likely that Abraham would be that active...or even {84} if 10 years is knocked off his reported age.
