"He was the son of Aaron and Charity Abbott, born into slavery in Clark County, Kentucky. Although his gravestone gives his birth year as 1844, an 1882 atlas gives his birth date as May 8, 1831. The 1831 birth year is consistent with an 1847 appraisal of his value as a slave as $575; the 1844 birth year is not." from Lyndon Comstock
