Hi Herb, Thanks for the offer, but my Georgia Reddick line arrived in Savannah on the ship Three Sisters on December 21, 1737 as the 'RADICK' family. They were German-speaking Palatine Refugees who each spent several years as indentured servants to the Trustees of the Colony of Georgia. My interest in old Abbeville District lies with the 1810 marriage of James and Thomas Reddick to Joanne and Elizabeth Carrol(l). They were wed by the Reverend Moses Waddell, founder of the Willington Academy and later first president of the University of Georgia. Then, in the 1820 census there are two 'REDICK' households found in Abbeville District. They were headed by 'Anney' and Elizabeth. I suspect that Anney = Joanne and Elizabeth is probably the same individual (maybe). If one goes back through the records of the Augusta Chronicle there's a record for James and Thomas 'Riddick' of Lincoln Co., GA being tax defaulters in 1808. Lincoln County lies across the Savannah River from the upper part of McCormick County which used to be the lower portion of Abbeville District. One could envisage a pair of brothers exiting Lincoln County for Abbeville District as a way of starting a new life with new brides. The thing about this is that those two fellows aren't related to me. However, they were alive during the same period when two other fellows named Thomas Reddick were living further down the Savannah River valley in Burke and Screven Counties (between Augusta and Savannah). Those two Thomas Reddicks were my relatives. The presence of three fellows named Thomas Reddick living to either side of Augusta in the Savannah River Valley has lead to all sorts of confusion (in the past). DNA testing has helped to reduce this confusion, as we now know the two fellows in Burke and Screven Counties had descendant relatives who've been tested and this proves them not to be related to any other Reddicks in the US. We think a group of Reddicks from the panhandle of Florida are descended from this set of Reddicks who lived in Abbeville District. This hasn't been absolutely proven, but seems possible or perhaps maybe likely. Those Reddicks have also undergone DNA testing and they don't match my group of Reddicks. The results of the DNA testing prove them to be part of a separate lineage of r320 surnamed folks (including both Reddick and Reddoch surnamed folks). Those mid-Atlantic Reddicks from Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina tend to mostly belong to a group that we are calling the I1b2 Scots-Irish Reddick / r320 grouping. The surnames in this group include: Redick, Reddick, Riddick, Ruddock, & Wallace (the DNA testing participant with the Wallace surname reports that his grandfather changed his surname from Riddick to Wallace in late 19th century west Texas [there's gotta be a story there, somewhere & somewhen]). The results of the DNA testing have placed these folks into four different sub-groupings. Some have well-documented origins in the early 1700s of northern Ireland. Others have oral tales of Scottish origins. However, please do provide me with the information that you've mentioned. I'll forward it along to other Reddick / r320 surname researchers. We all work together, trading anything we uncover or learn about or are informed of. Half of all the Reddicks in the US have a Thomas Reddick as a close relative to an ancestor. We have to compare notes and share information so that we can keep 'em all properly separated.
