It is late and I am sure to make a mistake and goof us all up...however, the John Esq who passed out passports for people passing through GA is NOT the son of Jonathan. Jonathan is estimated at 1744 for a birth and his son John is c.1766. Wrong John. That makes John, son of Jonathan, 10 years old at the start of the Rev. John Esq was playing JP in GA in the 50's and 60's. He disappears shortly after appearing in the 1805 lottery list....more later. For the record, Jonathan is at the head of everyone's most wanted list. I don't buy he's Timothy's. Oh, BTW, Eiland ( Island) Creek was supposedly named for George Eiland...they married wholesale into my "R"'s Again, more later when I'm awake.
