What is the file name of a new address book you create..
I am looking of the name of a address book I added. I know the\at the main book is called abook.sqlite. I have other sqlite files called abook-1.sqlite, abook-2.sqlite and abook-3.sqlite. What are these file contain? Also where are the other info like "Notes" stored? Are they also in the abook.sqlite file. I am using a DB browser and i don't see that info in the file.

Mapping is shown in prefs.js file in your Thunderbird profile folder, listed in Help > Troubleshooting Information
I must have missed it but I don't see any reference to the address books in the pref2.js file. As the above stated I know where the address books are stored. I just need an explanation as to the different "abook-?" files and in the .sqlite DB file where the "Notes" field is stored.
Maybe, if you post what you are trying to do, you may receive more useful suggestions. Thank you.
in prefs.js you should see lines like
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.home.description", "home"); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.home.dirType", 101); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.home.filename", "abook-12.sqlite"); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.home.uid", "109c879e-fc21-4329-8828-854ac92277d3");

Thunderbird uses a prefs.js file is you have a prefs2.js file you have something causing file contention and probably preventing saving of any changes or new accounts a new numbered file is created instead of the original being updates.
Causes of contention are streaming backups (including cloud syncing) and antivirus products usually. But disk corruption can also lead to error opening files.
