Biographical

Abraham Lennington Jr. and Elizabeth "Betsey" Murray, were first cousins. Their mothers, Elizabeth (Bole/Boles) Lennington and Mary (Bole/Boles) Murray, were sisters.

Not much is known about Abraham Jr. and Elizabeth "Betsey"  except for the fact that, Abraham Lennington Jr. was the first to open a hotel in Blountsville in 1834, and his brother, James Lennington opened the first store in Blountsville probably around the same time.

Judging from this information, it is assumed that Abraham Jr. and Elizabeth "Betsey" had a bright future in Henry Co. But their full potential was not be be realized due to their tragic deaths in 1842.  Even sadder  were the circumstances surrounding their deaths.

Sometime on Valentine's Day, 14 Feb. 1842, Abraham Lennington Jr. laced an apple with Arsenic and in some manner made sure that Elizabeth "Betsey" ate it, resulting in her death. He murdered his wife of 8 years, because he desired to marry a servant girl who's name to this day, remains a mystery.

It did not take long for the crime to be discovered and Abraham Jr. was the prime suspect. In desperation, he fled to Kentucky but his freedom was short lived, as he was apprehended not long after he arrived there.

He was being transported back to Indiana to face the consequences of his evil deed on a riverboat. The exact date is not known except that it was sometime after Feb. 14, 1842.  While on the riverboat, which was crossing the Ohio River, Abraham Lennington Jr. committed suicide by throwing himself over the wheel.

At this time, it appears there were no children born of the union between Abraham Jr. and Elizabeth "Betsey" (Murray) Lennington.
