Abigail Lee Johnson NABBY Notes:

Abigail was born in 1771. She died in 1854. [1] Nabby Lee Ames Chapter of the DAR was founded in 1903 in Athens, Ohio. Obituary Added by jdennie_1 on 20 May 2008 Originally submitted by toddlawson1 to Lawson/Tierney/Wylie Family Tree on 28 Apr 2008 This tombstone in the Cutler Cemetery, just off Route 280 out of Amesville, marks the grave of Nabby Lee Ames, pioneer woman, mother of 12 children and sturdy example of the courage of early settlers of Athens County. In 1933, the Nabby Lee Ames Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution marked the grave, nearly 80 years after her death. The tablet was unveiled in the presence of about 50 persons whose Athens group was named in her honor. Nabby Lee Ames was born in 1771 in the East and in 1798 came to the Northwest Territory, settling first at Belpre. Later the family came to Ames Township via the Ohio and Hocking Rivers and Federal Creek. The old homes of the Ames family can be seen from the Cutler Cemetery. Other old homes in the vicinity that can be seen from the cemetery are those of the Cutler family, the first Coonskin Library site, the home of Captain Benjamin Brown, the Ewing home, and the Walker home, all homes where pioneers since settled. Judge Sylvanus Ames, the husband of Nabby Lee Ames, was once Sheriff of Athens County, he was a common pleas judge, trustee of the Ohio University and a member of the Ohio Legislature. Nabby Lee Ames was the mother of 12 children. Mrs. Ames died at the home of a daughter, Mrs. A. B. Walker, in Athens, in 1854, at the age of 83. Bishop Edward Ames of the Methodist Church was her son. Ben Ames Williams, famous writer, is a great-grandson and other grandsons were Judge Rudolph deSteiguer and Charles W. Walker, author of an early history of Ames County. Bishop Ames was born in Ames Township in 1806 and attended Ohio University and in 1852 was elected Bishop of the Methodist Church after years of travel over the Middle West. During most of his adult life he resided in Indiana, later removing to Baltimore. This world famous son of Nabby Lee Ames died in Baltimore in 1879. Judge Sylvanus Ames was born in Massachusetts in 1771, son of an Episcopalian clergyman and a graduate of Harvard. His father was a chaplain in the Revolutionary army and died in camp at Valley Forge during the severe winter of 1777-78 when so many colonial soldiers suffered from cold and hunger and died. Sylvanus Ames married Nabby Lee Johnson in 1798 and they settled on Federal Creek on the farm long owned by the late Edward Jones, known for generations as the "Ames Farm". In addition to his many offices of public trust, he was Colonel of Militia and his home was a favorite stopping place for men of prominence traveling through the Ames area. He died in 1823, leaving five sons and four daughters. His children lived in several states of the Middle West with two living in Athens Mrs. deSteiguer and Mrs. Walker. At the side of the graves of Judge and Mrs Ames are those of three of their young children, Hector who died at the age of 4, Marcia who lived to be 16 years old and Dana Johnson Ames who died when he was a year old. The land for this burying ground was given by Ephraim Cutler, many years before 1811 when he deeded it for burial purposes. The first burial was made in the ground in 1805. Jason Rice, a soldier in the Revolutionary War is buried there, as is Susan ---, wife of a Hessian soldier.
