Abednego and Frances are not yet known to be related to me; however, they (or their son, Abednego Boaz, Jr.) were next-door neighbors for some ten years to my gggg-grandparents, Isham and Mary Canterbury Gwin, in what is now the Wear Valley (then called Crowson's Cove), Sevier Co., TN, in the first and second decades of the 1800's.
