  _UID	8AE642A431C8463D8CEC9CCB8598DD3FEA17
  Death	Abt 1860	Alabama, USA
  Notes	The following note was put here by Clifton Minter: Abner's year of birth is based upon the 1850 census of Tellapoosa County, AL which lists his age as 65. No one knows for sure when Abner Hill Minter died or where he is buried. He had children born in Heard County, GA in 1844 and 1847 but there is no record of his burial there. He would have been about 60 years old at that time. The family was on the 1850 cencus of Tallapoosa Coounty, AL and again on the 1870 census of Clay County, AL. Abner was dead before 1870. His wife, Sarah, is buried in the Lineville Cemetery in Clay County but Abner is not there. Descendants of Abner's son, David C. Minter, were told that David's father was buried near Selma, Al in 1860. This has not been confirmed. The additional notes below were added by John Minter in February 2015: 1810 United States Federal Census: in Chatham, North Carolina: Head of household Abner MINTER. People in household: Males under 10 - 1; 16 to 25 - 1. Females 16 to 25 - 1. 1820 United States Federal Census: not found. 1830 United States Federal Census: in Upson, Georgia: Head of household Abner H MINTER. People in household: Males 5 to 10 - 1; 20 to 30 - 1; 40 to 50 - 1. Females 5 to 10 - 2; 15 to 20 - 3; 40 - 50 - 1. 1840 United States Federal Census: in Upson, Georgia: Head of household Abner H MINTER. People in household: Males under 5 - 1; 5 to 10 - 2; 15 to 20 - 1; 50 to 60 - 1. Females under 5 - 1; 15 to 20 - 1; 30 - 40 - 1. It would seem from the relative ages of the oldest female, comparing 1830 with 1840, that Abner's first wife died between these two years. 'The Minters of Pine Forest' shows Abner's wife as Charity CHAPMAN (1789 - 1850) - the 1850 census below includes a 45 year-old female but doesn't state her relationship to Abner (she is assumed to be his second wife). 1850 United States Federal Census: in Township 21, Tallapoosa, Alabama (all MINTER): Abner H (65, farmer, born North Carolina), Sarah (45, born Georgia), Henry (18, farmer, born Georgia), Robert (16, born Georgia), James (14, born Georgia), Sarah (12, born Georgia), Martha (9, born Georgia), William (7, born Georgia), Angellina (5, born Georgia) and Margrett, born Georgia). Abner died about 1860; his widow appeared in the 1860 census. The following entry is next after son Henry Randolph and his family. 1860 United States Federal Census: in Southern Division, Randolph County, Alabama (all MINTER), Sarah (63, farmer, born Alabama), Robert (2-, unreadable, born Alabama), Martha (20, unreadable, born Georgia), William (16, born Georgia), Angelina (12(?), born Georgia) and Margaret (10, born Georgia). In the 1870 census: 1870 United States Federal Census: in Wesobulga, Clay County, Alabama (all MINTER), W C (25, photographer, born Georgia), Cynthia P (20, keep house, born Alabama), James A (1, born Alabama) and a male unnmamed infant (aged 5 months, born Alabama). Also Sarah (66, born Georgia), Martha (28, born Georgia) and Margaret (22, born Georgia). At the time of the 1880 census, Sarah was living with her married daughter Margaret and her husband (qv). Sarah died in 1883 and is buried in Old Lineville Cemetery, Lineville, Clay County, Alabama.
