*Date of birth is pure speculation making him around 28 at the time of enlistment, Paul 32 and John 38.
Simon Abney (208931041)
Suggested edit: Simon seems to be Pvt. Paul Abney/Abner's brother, not uncle. Pvt. Paul signed Simon's War Pension papers in 1787. Therefore, Simon Abney should be listed as son of John Abney "the Lost Son".
