  Military Service	“Abner Wimberly” appears in the War of 1812 service records in the 3rd Regiment (Wimberly’s) of the Georgia Militia as a Pay Master. Ezekiel Wimberly, his half-brother, was the Colonel of the Regiment.
  Obituary	This obit was kept in the Strain Bible: "Abner Wimberly died on Sabbath morning, July 18, 1858, aged 72 years and 18 days. He was a native of North Carolina; partly raised in South Carolina; and when arrived at mature years lived in Georgia; where, in December 1809, he was married to Miss Childress, his present aged and stricken widow, who mourns the loss of one no longer her affectionate companion and the guide of her footsteps." From the Columbus Tri-Weekly Enquirer (Columbus, GA), 4 Sept. 1858: "In Ashley County, Arkansas, on the 18th of July, Mr. Abner Wimberly, brother of Col. Jas. Wimberly, of Muscogee county, Ga."
  Death	18 Jul 1858	Ashley Co., Arkansas   [2]
  		Obituary for Abner Wimberly (d. 1858) This was preserved in the Allen Strain family bible.

  Patriarch & Matriarch	Thomas Wimberly           b. Abt 1430  (7 x Great Grandfather)  Sally Perry           b. Abt 1767, Bertie Co., North Carolina   (Mother)
  Notes	Names for other children aside from Eliza are from the 1850 census, where 4 are sons (I assume they are his sons--there's not a column to note this) with just first initials; Wesley is the only other child given a name there. Eliza is only "E," but she is also the only daughter. In the Strain Bible: "Abner Wimberly born July 1, 1786 died July 18, 1858. Born in North Carolina, partly raised in South Carolina. In mature years lived in Georgia where in December 1809 he married Miss Childress. This daughter Eliza Chloe Wimberly married James Strain Oct 15th 1851—and died January 23, 1853." [4]
