Abraham was shot and killed by Indians. John Harrison, in his 1935 book titled "Settlers by the Long Grey Trail: Some Pioneers to Old Augusta County" states on page 285 that early biographers who said that Abraham first married a Mary Shipley were wrong. He states that later investigators are agreed that there was only the one wife, Bathsheba Herring.
