I am posting this information on the Floyd County, Johnson County, Music, and Webb message boards in the hope it will be of help to someone.
There were TWO couples named Abraham Lincoln Music and Mahala Webb, and of course this has caused some confusion. The older couple were born in 1854 and 1859 and married in 1876. The younger couple were born in 1869 and 1874 and married in 1891. I believe the following information will help to straighten this out.
Abe #1 (born about 1854 to John Music & Minerva Baldridge)
1860 Johnson Co., KY census, Ancestry.com image 47: John Music 28 VA, Minerva 22 KY, Abe 6, Nancy 4, Minta 2.
1870 Johnson Co., KY census: John Music 39 VA, Manerva J. 35 KY, Abraham 15, Nancy 14, Araminta 12, Clarinda 8, James A. 5, John Bule 3.
Mahala Anna #1 born 20 Jan 1859 to William Webb and Mahala Franklin:
1860 Johnson Co., KY census, Ancestry.com images 28-29: William Webb 44, Mahala Webb 36, Edmon R. 16, Joseph H. 15, James N. 13, Henry L. 12, Abe L. 10, May M. 8, Samantha J. 6, Charles J. 4, Dorcas E. 3, Mahala A. 1.
By 1870 Mahala’s mother had died and William had married Isabell Music Cunningham:
