  • Notes 
    • The historic spelling of the name is Absalom. Because of that and because his son's name is also spelled Absalom, it appears very likely that that is way his name is also spelled.

      Besides being husband and wife, Absalom and Ruth are also first cousins.

      Was a cooper by trade
