782	Settlers in St. John?s Parish took the lead in Georgia's fight for independence from England. Along with many other citizens, especially Lyman Hall, Button Gwinnett and Nathan Brownson, nine Baker men were Patriots of the American Revolution. Two, William (1705 -1767) and Richard (1720- 1775) died before the Revolutionary War reached Georgia, but were probably active in discussions concerning Independence, since the rest of the men in their families supported Independence. Seven Bakers participated in the Revolutionary War, as follows: Benjamin (1717) helped develop the first Constitution of the State of Georgia; John (1722) organized the St. Johns Riflemen and served as colonel and his brother, William (1730), served as major in the Georgia Continental Line. All three, Benjamin (1717), John (1722) and William (1730) were members of the Provincial Congress of Georgia. In addition to these Patriots, William, Sr.?s son, William, Jr.(1749) served as a sergeant ; Major William?s son, Artimus (1755), served as a private in the Liberty County Militia; one of Benjamin?s sons, Nathaniel (1760) served as a private in the South Carolina Militia, and the other, Samuel (1758) signed an oath of loyalty to the State of Georgia. All were members of the Midway Congregational Church. Benjamin served as clerk for almost thirty years, and his brother, William served as one of the first selectmen. All died in Liberty County and are assumed to be buried in the Midway Cemetery, but only one, Nathaniel Baker, currently has a tombstone marking his grave.	Baker, Nathaniel (I49)
783	Shearod Thompson was born 1757 in Cumberland County, Virginia. He may have been the eldest born child of William Thompson, Sr. and Sarah. William was born before 1734 and died in May or June 1794. Shearod met and fell in love with miss Charlotte Land. They married about 1790 in York or Chester District, South Carolina. She was the daughter of Captain John Land and Mary Sumter. Their children from this union: 1. Jesse W. Thompson, born about 1791 in York District, South Carolina, married Permelia McGuire on 13 January 1820, died between 1854 and 1860 in Thomas County, Georgia. 2. Caroline Thompson, born about 1800 in York District, South Carolina, married James Bailey on 14 November 1819, died between 1860 and 1870 in Jackson County, Georgia. 3. Green L. Thompson, born between 1803 and 1807 in York District, South Carolina, married Lucinda Bailey on 15 April 1830, died after 1860. 4. William Sherod Thompson, born 23 September 1804 in York District, South Carolina, married Eliza Shelton Bailey on 8 February 1827, died 24 July 1886 in Jackson County, Georgia. 5. Lewis D. Thompson, born between 1810 and 1820 in Georgia, married Mourning Bailey on 31 August 1839, died between 1844 and 1845. Shearod Thompson's name is found on the Henry County, Virginia tax lists for 1779-1783. The last two years were for possession of a horse. In addition to serving in the Virginia militia during the Revolutionary War, he was a dispatch rider for the Continentals in what was then Pittsylvania County, Virginia. The mail post was an important branch of the service at Peytonsburg, Virginia. Dispatch riders would arrive with important mail and it was the duty of the post commandant to forward the same without delay, and in order to do this it was necessary to keep at the post a number of express riders. Shearod first entered the service of the United States as a drafted militia man in Pittsylvania County, Virginia under Captain John Coleman and Lieutenant Jesse Douglass. The regiment to which he was attached was Commanded by Colonel Scott and the Army was Commanded by Major General Nathaniel Greene. They marched from Halifax in Virginia to some point on the Dan River where General Lord Charles Cornwallis, Military Commander of the Southern forces, was stationed. When General Cornwallis fled, he was pursued by General Greene and his army to Guilford Court House in North Carolina where a bloody action took place. Shortly after the battle, General Greene's army was reinforced and they again pursued Cornwallis as far as Cross Creek in North Carolina where Shearod was discharged. On or about the tenth day of April in the year of our Lord 1781, Shearod again joined the service at Henry court house in the state of Virginia under Captain Swinfield Hill. He marched under the command of Major Waller through Henry, Pittsylvania, Halifax and Charlotte Counties at which latter county the men joined Colonel William Calloway and the Bedford men. Together they marched under the command of Colonel Calloway through Mecklenburg and Amelia counties and others to intercept the Tories and prevent them from joining General Cornwallis. They were stationed at different points, and marched up and down as ordered. About five months after the commencement of this campaign they were ordered on to Little York to join General George Washington. They marched through Petersburg and crossed the James River and joined General Washington at Little York. The men fought under the command of Colonel's Richardson and Randolph in the battle until the British surrendered on October 17th, 1781. In total, Shearod served 18 months in the Virginia militia and 9 months as a private in the Continental Army. After his discharge, he returned home to Henry County in Virginia where he resided two or three years. About 1784, Shearod removed to York County in the state of South Carolina where he resided nearly twenty-two years. His name is found frequently in the minute books of the county as a witness, juror, plaintiff and sometimes defendant. He purchased 202 acres of land on Fishing Creek before 1793; this property was formerly owned by John McWhorter. As was the custom at that time, Shearod waited before starting a family. Shearod married Charlotte Land when he was 33 years old and he was about 34 years old when his first son Jesse was born. He was the owner of a sizable plantation and at least three slaves. The 1790 Census record shows that he was the owner of one slave, and in 1800, three slaves. It is difficult to comprehend; however, a deed dated 1805 demonstrates that Shearod must have incurred serious legal difficulties. His real estate was seized in his demesne and sold according to the Custom of Vendues. The plantation was purchased by Ann Biggers for twenty dollars even though the estate was appraised at $803.45! Ann Biggers immediately sold the property for $500. Shearod removed to Jefferson, Jackson county, Georgia about 1804. Shearod resided on a large plantation on the Oconee River, 3 miles east of Jefferson, Georgia. He lived there for thirty-nine years and until his death. He and his wife raised one daughter and four sons in Jefferson. Interestingly, three of his sons and his only daughter married offspring of Ralph and Elizabeth Dowdy Bailey. The only son that did not marry a Bailey, Jesse W. Thompson, married Permelia McGuire. Permelia was the daughter of long-time family friends who also came from Cumberland and Henry Counties in Virginia. Charlotte, his wife of at least 34 years passed between 1824 and 1830. She is probably buried in the family cemetery on their homestead next to his grave. Shearod filed his will in September 1843, received his last pension payment on 3 September 1843 and probably died in September 1843. An inventory of his estate was recorded in 1845, and appraised at over $8000. He was the owner of 20 slaves at the time of his death. He was 86 years old.	Thompson, Shearod (I200)
784	Sheriff Brewster was the son of John Brewster, Sr. and Elizabeth Sheriff. Hughs's first enlistment was under Maj. Davis and next in 1781 under Col. Wade Hampton's division serving both enlistments in Gen. Sumpter's Army. He was attached to Col. Washington at the siege of British Post, Ninety Six, SC and served for a short tirm near Savannah, GA. The battle at Eutaw Springs, SC, Sept 8, 1781 was his final armed conflict during the war.	Brewster, Sheriff (I154)

786	Sitha Hammett arrived in Georgia about 1767, with her husband, Robert Hammett Sr., and several children. They settled in the Wilkes County community. The Hammett family's ownership of the land on which the Battle of Kettle Creek occurred gave Sitha the opportunity to aid the wounded, pass information, and physically assist in the battle.	Hammett, Sitha Bethel (I112)
787	Smith married Martha Gee Gary (1773-1835) d/o Wm. Gary, a Rev.Soldier, and his wife, Boyce Gee.
