Abner is the son of Queen Jackson Davy. She later married Alexander "Alec" Haley on Oct. 9, 1881.

Alex Haley raised and nurtured Abner as his own. Abner is well documented in the book by Alex Haley's grandson (entitled "Queen"). Abner left the Haley home in Tennessee to explore life away from all he had known. But he later returned to the Haley home and continued working the land.
