Samuel's widow, Mary, moved to Dekalb after his death and is the same district as Jeremiah. She was born in SC, and in the 1880 census Jeremiah says his parents were both born in SC. I would be delighted to share information with you. By the way, I find a Samuel in Jackson Co., Ga in 1799 and one in Putnam in 1813. Are you certain this is the same Samuel in Wilkinson and Twiggs? --John Wells Gillon
