He was born about 1817 in Ga. (not sure where?). He married an Elizabeth ? from N.C. She was born about 1816. They had ten children.Sarah J., Joel A., John R., William P., Andrew G., Hinam C., Be??? K. (Hinam C. & Be??? K. are twins), Julia Ann, Samuel P., Jackson Walter. The first five were born in Georgia, the last five were born in Alabama. I've found Joel on an 1850 & 1860 census in Talladega County Alabama but I'm unable to locate him in Georgia.
