There's many family stories passed down through the generations of the Everage/Everidge families about Abner Everidge. . Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution of 1775-1783 by John Gwathney, page 259. States Abner, Capt. Shelby's Co., drew clothing at the falls of the Ohio.

other Everage researchers say, there was a man by the name of Abner Everidge, that lived in North Carolina, he enlisted in the army and went away and never was heard of any more. He left a wife and four children; Joel (Joe); Solomon, Mary and Nellie. They say that the widowed mother lived with her four children for a few years endured much hardship, one day the two boys, Joe and Solomon were out strolling about the place and when they returned to the house, they found their two little sisters tied to the bed. the mother gone and never returned. They say after a while the neighbors learned about the children being left without anyone to care for them and took them in...

They say Abner Everidge never returned from the Revolutionary War... I don't believe it was true, as the Rev War was from 1775 to 1783, Abner Everidge did return from the war.. he was listed in the VA Regiment, in Augusta County, Virginia, and had taken sick and was headed home for a piece. Abner Everidge and Mary Stacy's children were; Mary Ann born in 1770, 5 years before the war. The war ened in 1783 and the other three children were born.. Joel (Joe) born in 1784, Nellie born 1785, and Solomon born in 1786..

.. Abner must have been gone along time in search for food and Mary Stacy's not being in stable mind and post pardon depression, that while Abner was out hunting and abandoned the children. She must have thought Abner was dead; .. later the neighbor's took care of the young abandoned children. ..

I believe that when Abner Everidge finely made it back home and probably still not completely recovered . took a while to get on his feet. I believe after he was well enough,

Tennessee's Genealogical Records, No. 1842.. Abner Everidge; Private in N.C. Con't Line, 640.acres, issued 14 June 1785, a William T. Lewis of Surry County N.C purchased the warrant on 7 February 1785, with Parks King and Michael Bacon as witnesses..

William Armstrong, Captain in the Regular U.S. Army during the Revolution in North Carolina, appeared before Andrew Campbell J.P. of Hawkins County, TN and stated that Abner Everidge was a Soldier in his Company, was taken sick and got leave to go home and that after a peace, a Mr William Terrell Lewis produced an order for the land grant for him. Settlements etc. 2 July 1808....

I believe that Abner Everidge sold his land grant, and being in poor health took the girls to the Stacy Family and then took Joel and Solomon to the Choctaw Chief to be raised, and do to Abner's poor health or perhaps wounds of the war passed away in the woods somewhere or perhaps the Choctaw buried him.... history says that the Stacy Family were also Choctaw
