S/O Jabez (Joshua) and Elizabeth (Smith) Ames. H/O Margaret Hillegarde Hautengshu. They were married 11 Feb 1816 in Washington Co., PA and moved westward to Guernsey Co., OH before 1820. By the 1830 census, they had moved to Morgan Co., OH. Later they were listed on the 1860 US Census in Crawford Co. Wisconsin. Text from the "Ames is the Name" book, page 135, says that Absalom was employed in building the National Pike and kept moving westward as the Pike extended westward.
They had 12 children: Jabish Gilead, Dorsey Pentacost, Elizabeth, John Wesley, Joseph McCann, Sarah Ann, Hannah, Erastus Haskins, Margaret, Mary Elizabeth, Dexter Newton & Harriet Ames.

***Patty Brown's notes---A link to Absalom's parents is nearly impossible, as the church records for the family were probably destroyed in a fire and the private cemetery on a farm near the Pigeon Creek Baptist Church (Washington Co., PA) was turned under, with all markers destroyed. (Info from page 215 of the "Ames is the Name" book by Richard D Ames, copyright: 1959) Absalom had 9 known siblings. Known Find-A-Grave memorial # links to those siblings are:
Hannah (Ames) DeGarmo - #90619869
Nehemiah Ames - #47600230
Martin Ames - #90619869
George Ames - #33245989
Anna (Ames) McAfee - #90907546
Dorsey Pentacost Ames - #54974589
William Ames - #23429349
John M. Ames - #90503702
