Subject: WIDEMAN/DAVIS>Abbeville>1780 From: Sina28 Date: September 16, 1998 I'm hoping to locate others who might be researching the family of HENRY WIDEMAN, b. abt. 1735, in Germany. He was known to have been in Abbeville District, living on the Long Cane, abt. 1784. I descend through HENRY'S daughter LUCY WIDEMAN PRUIT, through her son JAMES DAVIS (1), through his son JAMES DAVIS (2), through his daughter LUCY DAVIS. JAMES DAVIS (1) was known to be a "free negro", likely the product of LUCY WIDEMAN and a slave of a neighbor, named DAVIS (JAMES DAVIS or MOSES DAVIS). In the will of HENRY WIDEMAN of 1806, JAMES (1) is referred to as " my grandson, the daughter of LUCY PRUIT, called JAMES DAVIS". I don't believe LUCY WIDEMAN PRUIT was ever married to a DAVIS. I have a large amount of material I'd be more than happy to share.
