Abraham Huddleston, Sr, was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and is believed to have married Mary Patterson there. He migrated to Bedford County, Virginia about 1775 with his brothers Daniel and William. About 1780 Daniel and William moved on to Kanawha Valley in what is now West Virginia. Abraham's descendants are numerous in Bedford County to this day.16

Abraham's will was recorded on November 28, 1785 in Bedford County, Virginia. In it he mentions his wife Mary and four sons, but only Joseph was named. His wife Mary and son, Joseph acted at executors and the will was witnessed by Joe Patterson, John Ray and Christopher Buley.

Misc. Notes
Mary Patterson married Abraham Huddleston in Bucks Co, PA. The Huddleston's moved to Bedford Co, VA in 1775. Abraham Slack (and Elizabeth?) also moved from Bucks Co, PA to Bedford Co, VA shortly thereafter. Abraham Huddleston died in 1785 and it appears that Elizabeth Torbet Slack must have died around 1795. At that point, Abraham Slack and Mary Patterson Huddleston -- both widowed -- married each other on the same day that their children married each other in 179810,12.
