5001--Abram Mohler was married to Betsy Null, b Sept. 20, 1811.

Upon the death of John Mohler, Abram inherited half of the estate of his father. The brother Jacob inherited the other half, containing the famous Weyer's Cave. Abram, later, acquired the part of the estate with the cave and maintained the family hospitality at the old mansionhouse. During his lifetime the cave attained its greatest renown and the old brick mansion rang with merry laughter. But during the Civil War, Stonewall Jackson fought a number of famous battles near the old house and it, with the lawn, was turned into a field hospital where the wounded of both armies were cared for. It was on the line of Sheridan's march and was held by first one army and then the other.

As a hospital camp this was supposed to be a neutral spot, but, be it recorded, that Yankee soldiers entered the cave and did untold damage to that sacred landmark, and partly burned the old house and destroyed much of historic value to the old place. However, Abram Mohler, after the troublous days had passed, rebuilt the mansion with red brick, and it stands today (1900), preserved by J. L. Mohler as one of the beauty spots of the Shenandoah Valley, nestling at the foot of Cave Hill containing Weyer's Cave, soothed in its stately loneliness by the ceaseless babbling of the south fork of the Shenandoah River that frets past its windows, and lulled to peaceful slumber by the mournful call of the melancholy "whip-poor-will" when evening shadows fall.

This family freed their slaves just before the Civil War, sending those who wanted to go, to Ohio, but part of the number remained faithful to their "family" until death claimed them.

The issue of this union was:

During the Civil War he was in the Commissary Department of Stonewall Jackson's Army and was not far from the General when he fell.
