FIFTH GENERATION

Abraham Lipham (c1760-c1825)

Abraham Lipham was born around 1760, and probably spent his early life in the Union County area of the old Ninety-Six District of upper South Carolina, where he fought in the Revolution. On August 31, 1785, Abraham Lipham was granted 287 1/2 acres of Bounty Land in the portion of Washington County, Georgia that became Greene County in 1786, to which he moved. He appeared in tax digests for Greene County in 1789 and 1797, but was living in the Wilkes/Warren Co. area in 1805, and had moved to Putnam Co. by 1812. Abraham last appeared on the 1822 Putnam Co. tax digest, and is presumed to have died there with his wife prior to 1830.
