Lucy Collins1
F, b. 1746, d. 1790
Lucy Collins, daughter of Joseph Collins and Lucy Marchbanks, was born in 1746 in Halifax County, Virginia. She was also known as Lucy Norrell according to early Abney researchers. Later research casts doubt on this and strongly suggests instead that she was a Collins.
Lucy married Dr. Nathaniel ABNEY, son of Dr. Abraham ABNEY and Cassandra MEREDITH, circa 1761 in Viirginia.2
About a year after Dr. Nathaniel's untimely demise in 1767, his widow moved her family to Edgefield County to be nearer her family for help with the children. She seems to have died there about four years later.
Lucy Collins appeared as head of household on a census enumerated 1790 in Edgefield County, South Carolina. The household was listed as one male 16+ [Paul Collins Abney], two males under 16 [Joseph and Nathaniel Abney], three females [Lucy Collins Abney, Dolly Rutherford Abney, and either Cassandra (widow of Dr. Abraham Abney) or another daughter].3 She was buried in Kelly's Chapel Cemetery.
