My Kimball family left Burke County about that same time and were in Montgomery AL by December 1827. Would like to find out more about them! Inez in CO **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489

People likely migrated because of new land availability: 1. In 1818, an organization known as "The Alabama Company of South Carolina", through its agent Stephen Elliott, purchased from the Cahawba Land Office 60,0000 or 70,0000 acres in Lowndes County Alabama, then part of Montgomery County, mostly south and west of Big Swamp. My Henry Bryan of Screven, husband of Honora Bonnell, purchased his first land in Alabama in 1818 and moved. His sons and other family members followed. 2. 1820 Land Lottery After the Creek War (1814), Andrew Jackson demanded the secession of the southern third of present-day Georgia. A second section of land in northeast Georgia was included. This defined the eastern end of the Cherokee Nation for 12 years. The 1820 Lottery included land in Early, Irwin, and Appling Counties in GA. Early, Irwin, Appling counties extended across south Georgia and were created from Creek lands acquired in 1814 by the Treaty of Fort Jackson. The land was granted under the authority of George M. Troup, Governor of Georgia (1823-1827). Here is a copy of the 1820 grant to David Archer of Screven County. http://neptune3.galib.uga.edu/ssp/cgi-bin/tei-natamer-idx.pl?sessionid=7f000 001&type=doc&tei2id=KRC077 Portions of Early County's original boundaries were used to create the following counties: Decatur (1823), Baker (1825), Clay (1854), Calhoun (1854), and Miller (1856). Other counties created from these five counties and falling within Early's original boundaries are: Dougherty (1853), Mitchell (1857), Grady (1905), and Seminole (1920). Also a portion of Thomas County (created in 1825) falls in Early's original boundaries. Irwin County originally embraced part or all of the following counties: Worth, Wilcox, Turner, Ben Hill, Tift, Colquitt, Thomas, Cook, Brooks, Berrien, Lowndes, Echols, Clinch, Lanier, Atkinson, Coffee, Ware, Charlton, Jeff Davis, Bacon, Pierce and Brantly. The original boundaries of Appling county included all or portions of Bacon, Charlton, Clinch, Echols, Jeff Davis, Pierce, Ware, and Wayne Counties. Also, portions of Appling County were used to create the following counties: Pierce (1857), Jeff Davis (1905), and Bacon (1914). In his conveyance of 1827, Stephen Mills of Screven left to his son John a plot of land in Early County, a plot that now is located near Bainbridge in Decatur County. 3. The Forbes Land Company settled its claims with the US and land opened up in Florida. Stephen Mills widow and children purchased land and migrated to Leon County following his 1827 death. Thomas Mills purchased land beginning in 1826, the Burney uncles beginning in 1827, Archibald and Jane Burney Gordon Mills beginning in 1828. Spanish Land Grant Claim Survey Map, ca. 1818 (From: United States Board of Land Commissioners, Confirmed Spanish Land Grant Claims, 1763-1821, Series S990) Hand-colored plat maps such as this one by Surveyor Robert McHardy are among the documents used to establish ownership of land in Florida after it became a territory of the United States in 1821. The U.S. Board of Land Commissioners was established in 1822 (3 U.S. Statute 709, May 8) to settle all outstanding Spanish land grant claims in the territory that Spain ceded to the United States the previous year. The Board set up offices in Pensacola and Saint Augustine to determine the validity of all titles and private claims to these lands and either supported or rejected the claims based on its review of the documents submitted by claimants. This series is comprised of claims files containing those supporting documents, including petitions or memorials to a governor for land; surveys or plats; attestations; deeds of sale, gifts, wills, bequests, and exchanges; and translations of original Spanish land documents. http://www.floridamemory.com/FloridaHighlights/LandGrant.cfm SDL -----Original Message----- From: gascreve-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:gascreve-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dale E.

Hi Linda, OK, there was -obviously- more than one Elizabeth Reddick. Elizabeth ('Betsy') Reddick was born as the first child to John Reddick and his wife Mary Ann Ivey Reddick circa 1810. 'Betsy' married John Jenkins in Burke Co., GA on April 12, 1832 and she died October 21, 1871. The above John and Mary Ann Ivey Reddick were my ggg-grandparents. Anyhow, John and 'Betsy' Reddick Jenkins are buried in the Jenkins family cemetery just outside Sardis GA, Burke Co. - off of Reddick Road as it departs GA 24 SE of Sardis. Probably one or more of the following Google search hits deals with the Elijah Wade who married Elizabeth Reddick. Nicholas Moses Reddick settled first in Dooley County before moving onward to what later became Brooks County. The last of the following points to Bethel Primitive Baptist Church (near NMR's Tallokas Plantation) as the burial for some Wades (along with quite a large number of Reddicks). Anyhow, from a book by Mrs. Shirley Reddick (about NMR & his family) I can see that NMR's fourth child (he had -sixteen- children via his three wives) Elizabeth married Judge Elijah Wade, Jr. in 1846. That couple had at least three daughters who married men with the Edmondson, Chapman, and Dukes surnames. I hope that some of this helps.

Dale, I have written down an Elijah Wade married to Elizabeth Reddick. I don't know where I got that and I don't have Elijah in my Wade database. Do you have any Jenkins in your family ties? I vaguely remember reading something from you about a Jenkins relation. On my mother's side I have Wiley Jenkins from SC to AL and some of his children to TX. Just curious. Thanks. Linda Subject: Re: [GASCREVE] Wade letter 1908 Hey Linda, I noticed that Carole Drexel responded to your posting. She has undoubtedly missed the conversation about the Wades that has appeared on the GABROOKS e-mail list. The interesting part about all of that is that Carole's son is a Reddick whose father originated via a Reddick family from Pavo in Thomas County. That, of course is -immediately- adjacent to Brooks County. And, Carole's son is a direct descendant of Nicholas Moses Reddick of Brooks Co. Further, I seem to recall that there was Reddick-Wade marriage in Brooks County. I think a Judge Wade married a daughter or granddaughter of NMR there in Brooks County.

You know what, I saw a Hotchkiss in the stuff in Early Co, GA, I'm almost sure. I haven't had time to breathe tonight, but when I do, I'll take a run through what I brought home from the Archives. I knew that someone was interested in the Hotchkiss but couldn't remember at the time who it was. The copy machines were not making readable copies and my time got slowed to a crawl.

Hey Scotty, I've read several of the pension applications. When I ran an -open- search on the Taylor surname, I found 251 records referring to individuals with the Taylor surname. That's really different from the 25 search hits found when looking only for Taylors with pension applications. Which is to say - there are different ways to work this database! There was a Griffis pension application that mentions his commander as having been a Capt. Samuel Reddick. The thing that was fascinating was that this Griffis fellow had been at the three most important battles of the Carolinas that drove Cornwallis up the coast to try his luck at Yorktown. That Griffis fellow was wounded at King's Mountain, fought also at Cowpens, and then was wounded again at Guilford Courthouse. Absolutely the mostly fascinating reading!!! I particularly noticed and read the record for Samuel Thornton. Samuel was born at Matthew's Bluff (on the SC side of the Savannah River just downstream from Burton's Ferry) and had a son named Reddick Thornton. Well, that has raised questions about the identity of his wife Naomi - might she have been born a Reddick? My apparent ggggg-grandfather John Raddick / Reddick (Johann Radick, II) had five children at the time of his 1767 land grant (that's information recorded in the colonial records). We know who four sons were (Francis, Jacob, Nicholas, & Peter). What about a daughter as the fifth child? Also, he got another 100 acres granted to him in 1775. Were there two more children represented by that addition to the lands granted to him (50 acres per child was the rule during colonial times)? Then, it get's better. From our DNA studies we know that the brothers Peter & Francis Readdick (born 1800 & 1802, respectively) are related to the Reddicks of Screven & Burke Counties. We strongly suspect that they were sons of Francis Reddick who seems to have disappeared from the Millhaven area circa 1795 - '96. OK, where does this go? A widowed Elizabeth Reddick with children participated in the Georgia Land Lottery of 1805 while residing in Glynn County, Georgia (adjacent to Camden Co., GA). The above mentioned Peter & Francis Readdick were resident in Camden County, GA from prior to 1820 to whenever they died post-1860 (known from Grand & Petit Jury lists and also from the presense of Elizabeth 'Ready' on the 1820 census for Camden Co. [yes, young adult males were living with her]). Guess who -later- moved to Camden County? Reddick Thornton, two of his brothers, and their respective families. Methinks that there's a marriage connection hidden / demonstrated within these several sets of records. I think three Thornton first cousins moved themselves into Camden County to be nearby two Readdick first cousins. Obviously, this is debatable and open to all sorts of interpretation. However, there's perhaps something here to be further investigated and maybe real connections to be discovered.

Dale, I found that site while I was working on my Burney line, realizing then that many of those men had fought at Brier Creek. Below is my note about why David Burney's application was denied, and below that is the copy of the statement from his pension application. It is a reminder of what happens to us all when we age! NOTE by Sharon Dean Lee: David Burney's pension application, written when he was 80 and living in Texas, was denied. I now think I know why; the company and commander to whom he refers were in Burke Co, NC, not Burke Co, GA. As an old man with many experiences under his belt, David Burney just remembered incorrectly. Captain Alexander Irwin commanded a company from Burke Co, NC, as documented in pension applications and interviews in 1832: Southern Campaign American Revolution Pension Statements http://www.southerncampaign.org/pen/w25701.pdf. What is curious is that David's brother Richard was in Georgia in what became Burke County as early as 1766. Very likely, when the Burneys had to leave Georgia in 1780-1781 when the British retook it, David returned to NC to volunteer there. He may indeed have fought on Brier Creek in GA as he says, but with the Burke County, NC, militia, not the Burke County, GA, militia. Oddly, David did live in Burke County for a short period of time. http://www.fortunecity.com/millennium/hindmarsh/384/d6.htm, Roger L. Hulion 24 Cottonwood La. O' Fallon, MO., 63366 (636)240-0173.

Has been in hs present neighborhood for at least 20 years." SDL -----Original Message----- From: gascreve-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:gascreve-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dale E.

Dale, That was some interesting reading on William Rawls. He was the brother of Cynthia (Mrs. Starkey Bazemore), Elizabeth (Mrs. Humphrey Bazemore), and Temperance (Mrs. James Scott and later Mrs. Lewis Powell), all of Screven County, and is mentioned in James Scott's will (March 1832) was William Ira Rawls. This excerpt also states that he said that he was born in North Carolina on the Virginia line, and this sounds like Bertie County, NC to me. Bertie is the northeastern most county in NC and the Dismal Swamp is within its boundaries. It is also quite close to Nags Head, one of the Outer Banks of NC. Take care and keep in touch. Happy hunting! Scotty **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)
