Rev. Abraham Nabors, son of Jacob and Judith Nabors, was born about 1790 in Laurens County, South Carolina.  He married Nancy (Crockett) Crawford, born 1792.  She died in 1860 in Shelby County Alabama.  Abraham was a Methodist minister, and his third child, Paul, was also a Methodist minister.  The family of Abraham moved to the Shelby County area in about 1816-1817, along with his brother, Arthur (“Artur”) and probably his cousins, Buel Blassingame, Charles, Lewis, and Samuel.  All have been reported to move to Alabama in that time period.  Rev. Abraham Nabors died in Perry County, Alabama in 1848.
