Connie, Abraham had no children by Bathsheba.
He married her between an 1803 census taken of the residents of an area claim by Georgia (Walton Co. Ga) which NC reclaimed and today is Transylvania Co. NC.On the census, in Abraham Kuykendall's household was one person and 7 slaves.His wife (Elizabeth) died ca 1801/2 (she was alive on the 1800 Buncombe Co. NC census) and based on early history of the ownership (or lack of it)ofMud Creek Baptist Church where he is buried, Elizabeth was most likely the first person buried there and was most likely the reason for Abraham establishing that piece of land as a cemetary and later giving (or given by his heirs)the land for the church.There is no deed from him to the church but the deeds for his property include the grounds where the cemetary and old church was situated.The community after his death just continued with the church and cemetary.That is my intrepretation of the records as I have found them.Bathsheba is recorded as his wife when he and she sell a piece of his land in 1805.So sometime between 1803 and 1805, they were married.
Abraham had 17 children by Elizabeth.I have been most fortunate to have located with the help of many people, documents identifying them as children of Abraham.
Of the four men listed in your query, one of them, Joseph Harden "called Hardy" Kuykendall born 1800 is not his son but he is his grandson.Based on census record, Hardy went to Habersham Co. Ga. before 1830 with his father James (mother Mary (Hambright- surname not proven but accepted).
Hardy is listed on the 1830 Habersham Co. Ga. census.Hardy was a witness to one of James's deeds recorded in Buncombe Co. NC. Hardy and his wife Rebecca (surname Waldrop) were listed as residents of "Habersham Co. GA" in the will of her father.Hardy and his wife and family returned to Buncombe (now Henderson) Co. NC after 1840. He and his family are listed in the 1850 Henderson Co. NC census.
As all of you know, there is a lot of "mis-information" out there as well as good information.It's by checking out the sources and varifying records such as you are doing that will eventually get us all in the right family trees.Thanks for asking.
