Kabler

  In 18O7 Frederick Kabler bought of Richard and Judith Chilton 293 acres of
land at the junction of Blackwater and Rock Castle creeks from Timberlake's line
to Charles Johnston's corner crossing Tomahawk creek on the division line
between Alexander and John Burton; again in 1813 Kabler bought of Ambrose and
Jane Brown 74 acres at the head of Tomahawk creek along John W. Bradley's and
Thompson's lines; in 1823 Kabler added 206 acres to his estate, land purchased
from Joseph and Martha Thompson; and in 1846 made a further addition of 14O.84
acres which adjoined the property of Dr. Nathaniel W. Floyd and Jas. Addison
Meriwether.

  Kabler was a surveyor by profession, and accumulated other lands. His widow,
Catherine Kabler, received the Robert Burton tract as her dower; other tracts
were the Wilkerson tract, the Hobson tract and two tracts lying along Tomahawk
and Rock Castle creeks (branches of Blackwater).

  Thaddeus Kabler, son of Frederick, in 1821 married Mary, the daughter of
Conrad Speece. He sold the land heired from his father's estate and bought
tracts on both sides of the road near New London adjoining property his wife had
received from the Speece estate. Here he built a residence on the outskirts of
the old town, which was burned down some years since. His land was skirted on
one side by Cottontown road, which in early days had been laid off by Richard
Callaway. Thaddeus Kabler lived to be 92 years old. His son, Dr. T. L. Kabler,
married Mildred Peyton, the daughter of John Clark and Catherine
Leftwich-Moorman; and resided at New London. Children—Dr. Nicolas L., m. Gus
Flippen; is resident physician at New London;—Clark Moorman, m. Rosalie Labby of
Federal Hill;—Ellen Douglass, m. Charles Nelson of Lynchburg.
