I am looking for Satta/Sarah South in Madison County. Her name is listed as Satta South on her marriage bond when she married Samuel Stone (son of Benjamin Stone/Sarah?) on 27 Aug 1799 in Madison County, KY. Joseph Malotte (many spellings) signed as the bondsman. Joseph Malotte was the husband of Satta's sister, Catherine South. Satta is listed in one book of the marriages of Madison County as Lotta, but when you read the bond, it looks like whomever read that misread Satta as Lotta. When Satta died in Warren County in 1843, she was Sarah Stone. I do not know where the name Satta came from and perhaps it was really Sarah. Our research says that her father was Thomas South who was killed outside Ft. Boonesborough in 1779. Her mother might be Elizabeth Barnett. I have no documentation for any of this. Two of the only documents for her are that marriage bond and the settlement of her estate. Here is what I have for Thomas South: Thomas South and Joseph Malotte appear on a list of men signing the Oath of Allegiance in Washington County, Maryland in 1778. They are also listed in land deals in western Maryland. This information was contained in: Maryland Records by Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh. #70 (C) 104; (D) Thomas South; (E) 0-10-5; (F) 1-0-10; (L) Thomas South age abt 50; (M) Certificate dated Sept 29, 1763, but whether held by it or not uncertain vide______. #71. (C) 76; (D) Joseph Malott; (E) 0-15-2 1/2; (F) 1-10-5; (L) 21 years; (M) Held by certificate dated July 20, 1765. Leese executed. #72 (C) 51; (D) Benjamin Malott (E) 0-10-2 1/2; (F) 1-0-5; (L) 21 years; (M) held by certificate dated Feby. 25, 1766. Lease executed. I have this addtional information: He served for six days in Capt. Joseph Capline’s Co. in the French and Indian Wars in 1758. In 1766, he, along with Benjamin and William South signed a petition in Frederick County to Gov. Horatio Sharp to call a meeting for the Assembly for the purpose of issuing bills of credit to pay public creditors. He was listed as signing an Oath of Allegiance in 1778 in Washington County, Maryland. He purchased land at Sharpsburg, Berkely County, Virginia. He was killed in a battle with the Shawnee Indians after being caught outside Fort Boonesborough. There is a reference to him in the book, A Sorrow in Our Heart, The Life of Techumseh by Allan W. Eckert, on page 714, footnote 223. “Boonesboro settlers killed in 1779 included Frederick and Joseph Stams, Ricahrd, Hines, David Bundan, Michale Myers, John Dumferd, Joshua Barton, Thomas South, and John Baugh while three were captured--Joab Barton, Moses McIlwain, and Ambrose White.” I would appreciate hearing if anyone knows about this part of the South family. My information says that Thomas South is the son of John South and Mary Elizabeth Smith, but again, I do not know if this is true. Judith K.
