James Kennon Dabney was born to Dr. James and Eliza (Perrin) Dabney
September 25, 1813, at The Exchange in Gloucester County, Virginia.1
He married Sarah Emory Tabb December 23, 1847. They had seven
children: James, born in 1849; Thomas Todd, born in 1850; Lucy T. born
in 1853; Jane Lee, born in 1855; Evelyn, born in 1856; Franklin P.,
born in 1858; and William Forman, born in May, 1864.
He inherited his farm called The Exchange from his father, Dr. James
Dabney. He was listed in the 1850-1880 censuses as a farmer in
Gloucester County, Virginia, with land valued at $19,000-$36,000.
During August - November, 1865, he took steps to apply for amnesty as
a resident of a Confederate state under the Proclamation of 29 May
1865 by President Andrew Johnson. Because the Proclamation excluded
persons with a net worth over $20,000, whose property was vulnerable
to confiscation, he stated that the last assessment of his property
was overvalued at $21,702 and included a grist mill valued at $4,000
that was burned by Union soldiers reducing his assets to $17,702.
With the petition, he submitted a certificate confirming that he had
taken an oath of loyalty and support for the proclamations of
emancipation of slaves. His petition was approved the same day that
it was filed in Washington. He died January 6, 1892.
