Abraham Musick, b. Abt. 1719-1722 in St. George’s Parish, Spottsylvania County, Virginia; He later lived three miles from Charlottesville. In 1765, he moved to Rutherford, North Carolina. He and his sons Lewis, William, and David fought at the Battle of Cowpens in the Revolutionary War. Another Abraham who married his daughter, Terril Musick, was his nephew and son-in-law. If that isn’t confusing enough there are a couple dozen more Abrahams in our family tree so far.
Abraham was the patriarch of a wagon train of about one hundred persons, led by his son David, who traveled slowly through the Cumberland Gap to Georgia, Kentucky, and Illinois in 1794. He and others crossed the Mississippi to Spanish Louisiana (later Missouri) in 1795. He died about 1800 in Florrisant, Missouri (now St. Louis County.)
This Abraham married Sarah Lewis. Some of the early Musick family is covered in the Genealogy of the Lewis family in America.
