865	Unfortunately, only a Revolutioanry War pay voucher, number 1056, dated March 23, 1782, from North Carolina State Archives certifies that Seth Pierce received pay from the Newbern District for his services. Records from North Carolina Archives do not show his rank, unit that he served in, battles that he fought in, or officers that he served under. However, a Georgia tax list revealed that in 1802 he received land as a prize for his service in the Revolution. To support his move to Washington County census records revealed that he married Millie Ann Askew of Jones County, North Carolina, sometime between 1793 and 1800 and tha they were living in Washington County in the early 1800s. About this time Seth was awarded land in Jefferson County, Georgia, in the land lotteries of 1805, and 1806. Later Seth received more land in Jefferson County in the land lottery of 1821. Finally, in 1843 tax records show that Seth owned forty acres in Cherokee County, Georgia, which he probably acquired in the Cherokee land lottery of 1832 or after the Cherokees left in 1838 on the Trail of Tears. Although a definite date of birth and death is unknown for Seth, from family records it is estimated that he was born in 1756 and died in 1844. He is buried in the Pierce Family Cemetery on Bostic Mill Road near Louisville, Georgia, near a house at 2957 Bostic Mill Road where family members lived from the 1830?s to the 1980?s. Seth and Millie Ann Pierce had two children, Obediah Pierce (1805-1884) and Clarisa Pierce (1785 -1870).

871	Very Little is known about him?He is located on the 1820 and 1840 Census?on 1840 he was about 90 yrs. old and located in Elbert County.	Merit, Toren (I205)

873	When Abraham Bessent was 18 years old, he joined the South Carolina Militia in 1781, and served in Captain Daniel Morrell?s company, a unit of the First Regiment under General Francis Marion, including the Battle of Eutaw Springs. He eventually obtained the rank of First Sergeant. Upon the declaration of war against Great Britain in June 1812, the men of St. Mary?s, whose age or infirmities provided legal exemptions from militia duty, nevertheless organized an infantry company. On December 11, 1812, the governor commissioned Abraham Bessent (49 years old) as captain of the St. Mary?s Volunteer Guards, and attached them to the 8th Battalion Georgia Militia during the War of 1812. He died while in service on September 28, 1814, ?of the prevailing (yellow) fever?, and was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in a low, walled plot.	Bessent, Abraham (I237)
874	When he was 18, Drury Banks served in Capt. John Montgomery?s Colonial NC Militia (Sept 1772). In 1780, he volunteered for 3 months with Capt. William Gage?s horse troop in the American Revolution (pension app R475). On 31 Oct 1783, he received pay for his services in the NC Continental Line (Hillsboro auditor?s office, Voucher 5711). Drury Banks served as a Patriot during the American Revolution, as did others in his family. There is a misconception that he may not have served since his pension application was rejected.Drury Banks served at least twice during the American Revilution while he had a wife and child, according to his pension application. Primary documentation exists for two periods of service. His pension was rejected NOT due to lack of service, but rather because he had just begun the process when he died without the opportunity to provide proof of additional service. In his pension he showed less than six months of service in 1780. The NC Archives has a document for pay during 1783 for military service with the Continental Army. These are just the two periods of proven service. He had given testimony with a court official at his home due to his inability to go to the county seat in elder years. His initial application was rejected due to lack of six onths of documentedservice. He died before he could testify to additional service. Primary records demonstrate at least two military opoortunities--1780 and 1783.	Banks, Drury (I229)
875	When he was seventy-nine years old, John Bessent died in Nassau County, Florida on March 12, 1844, but his remains were brought to St. Marys and he was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in St. Marys.

877	When the American Revolution began, John Howell converted two of his ships into armed privateers at his own expense and operated them off the Georgia coast throughout the war with great success. Along with other privateers, he attacked British parties engaged along the coast in collecting forage and provisions for the British troops in Savannah. The privateers made frequent voyages to the West Indies where they procured supplies of salt, munitions and other articles necessary for the comfort and defense of Georgians. John Howell also served as a captain of a galley in the Georgia Continental Navy during the Revolution. He was made a prisoner at Sunbury when the British captured Fort Morris on January 9, 1779. After his release in June 1781, upon entering the sound near Sunbury, he learned that a party of British officers and officials were at a house in Sunbury, near the renamed Fort George. Ascending the river with muffled oars and under cover of night, he and his men surrounded the house and capture the party of twelve British. Among the captured was a colonel who had insulted and ill-treated Captain Howell while he was a prisoner. John Howell also served in the Burke County Georgia Militia in 1782. Sources: 1-- Georgia Revolutionary Soldiers & Sailors, Patriots & Pioneers, Vol. 2, Ross Arnold and Hank Burnham; page 71 - John Howell, 1750-1813, a native of Wales, served as a captain of a galley in the Georgia Continental Navy.

878	When the Revolutionary War broke out he joined the local militia. In October, 1779 while serving in the war, he was given a furlough to return home to check on his wife, Charity who was due to give birth. When he arrived he found a baby boy just a few days old. The first night he was home, a band of roving Tories pulled him from his home and brutally murdered him.	Bowers, Job (I214)
879	While a resident of Rutherford County, in the latter part of 1779, he volunteered to serve with the North Carolina Troops in the Revolutionary War and served on two short tours until the spring of 1782. These two years he held the rank of private and was an Indian spy. In his pension application he states that he was only 16 years old when he joined up. It was their job to guard the mountains from the head of the Catawba to the head of the Saluda, a range of more than one hundred miles in length. They had many conflicts with both Indians and Tories, constantly moving from place to place. The service was described by him as very hard because they had to find all their own food, many times suffering from cold, fatigue and hunger. During this time he served under Captains Butler and Kirkendal and Colonels William Graham and John Earle.	Hill, Reuben/Reubin (I317)

896	William Bibb Key was the son of Martin Tandy Key and Nancy Ann Bibb.	Key, William Bibb (I288)
897	William Daniell, Sr. was born November 25, 1743, the fifth of seven children of John Daniell and his wife Sarah Raven Daniell. William’s grandfather, Robert Daniell, Sr., had come to Charles Town, South Carolina in the 1670s where he was a ship owner, Deputy Lord Proprietor, Landgrave, judge, and Governor of North Carolina and later South Carolina as well. William grew up in New Hanover (later Brunswick) County, North Carolina in the Cape Fear area south of Wilmington. In his 1763 will, William’s father John bequeathed to his 20 year old son the 549 acre plantation home place called “Tom Bells” on the west side of Lockwood Folly River. While still a young man, William moved up the Cape Fear River to Chatham County in the center of the State. William and his first wife Rachel resided in the Deep River/Indian Creek area in the southern part of the county, where most of their seven children would have been born. One of their close neighbors was Jeremiah Melton who took part in the armed resistance to the royal Governor of North Carolina in the Battle of Alamance, considered to be a forerunner of the Revolutionary War. William’s younger brother, Stephen Bedon Daniell, was a member of the Committee of Safety in 1775 and an officer in the first North Carolina Regiment. Stephen named his third son George Washington Daniell, who became the father of Rev. David Gonto Daniell, the first pastor of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta. In 1786, William and Rachel Daniell’s eldest daughter, Elizabeth, married Benjamin Davis, a Revolutionary soldier, and William and Rachel Daniell’s eldest son, William Jr., married Benjamin Davis’ sister. Later in 1786, presumably after the death of his wife Rachel, William Daniell, Sr. and his children moved from Chatham County, North Carolina to the Dry Creek area of Jefferson County (then Burke), Georgia where son-in-law Benjamin Davis pastored some of the earliest Baptist churches in the State. Jeremiah Melton, William’s neighbor from Chatham Co., North Carolina, also moved to the same area of Burke County and in June of 1787, William Daniell, Sr. married Melton’s daughter Mary, known as “Polly”. William and Mary would have 13 children together, bringing the total number of William’s children from both marriages to 20. Since Burke County’s records have been burned, we don’t know the exact date that he moved from there, but he and his family were among the earliest settlers to this area which became the Mars Hill community. The home they built, known as “The Cedars”, placed on the National Register of Historic Homes, still stands today only a short distance from this cemetery and the church where the family was so actively involved. In 1802, William Daniell joined Mars Hill Church by letter. The family’s deep religious convictions is evidenced by the fact that several of William’s sons and grandsons became Baptist ministers (George, Jeremiah, Beaton, Alfred, Moses, Robert). As mentioned in Historian Lucian Knights’, Georgia’s Roster of the Revolution, William left his home to serve under General Elijah Clarke as a soldier. William was issued a Certificate of Service #791 under Elijah Clarke for his service as a Refugee Soldier in the battle of Kettle Creek and other minor engagements. William Daniell, Sr. lived a long and vigorous life. Family stories recount how at age 90, William held a two week reunion at his home of his children and their families which would have been a large number indeed. He died September 5, 1840 approaching the age of 97. His wife Mary died three years later October 3, 1843. Together they left a rich legacy of many descendants, religious dedication, and family pride. Their descendants continue to meet in an annual reunion which has been ongoing for more than 70 years. William Daniell was honored by the Elijah Clarke DAR Chapter (Athens) at a grave marking in 1937	Daniell, William (I94)
898	William Dunaway was born in Bedford County, Virginia in 1751. He served in the 5th Virginia Regiment as a foot soldier and helped to secure our freedom by pursuing the British across the Rapidan River to Jamestown, where the British were defeated. He then went on to Yorktown, where Cornwallis surrendered on October 18, 1781. He later joined Col. Elijah Clarke to help drive the British from Georgia. William first married Elleanor Burton and had four sons. He later married Nancy (____) and had seven children. He moved to land acquired in the Cherokee Lottery and made his homestead in Tignall, Wilkes County, Georgia, where he died in 1830.	Dunaway, William (I65)
899	William Girardeau served as a Private in the St. John?s Riflemen, part of the Georgia Militia, under the command of Lieutenant Moses Way and Colonel John Baker, both members of the Midway Society. Colonel John Baker commanded the St. John?s Riflemen in May 1776, when their name was changed to Liberty County Militia.

900	William Jones moved from Virginia to Georgia before the American Revolution. At age 17, he fought in the Revolutionary War as a Sergeant in the 2nd Georgia Continental Battalion under Colonel Samuel Elbert. After serving in the war, William became a Judge in Columbia County, Georgia. From the writings of Amelia E. Cutliff, granddaughter of William Jones: "Judge William Jones came to Georgia before the Revolution and served as a Sergeant in the 2nd Ga. Battalion. He received 250 acres of land in Washington Co., GA for his military service. By the time of his death, he owned 2045 acres of land on the Savannah River between Barkesdale Ferry and Soap Creek which was named "Egypt" because of its great corn yield. The plantation was on the Petersburg and Augusta Road where his 21 children were born in a house with 21 rooms. Following his death, the home was sold to James A. Lampkin and later to Capt. F.E. Eva whose wife was a Lampkin. William Jones and others were buried in a family cemetery on the plantation grounds, and a monument was erected which stated "William Jones, Born in King & Queen County Virginia 1762, Died 1834 age 72 years." He died of pneumonia at the home of his sister-in-law, Susan Tankersley Pace." William's wives: 1. Elizabeth Eubanks 2. Francis (Frankie) Grinage 3. Mary (Polly) Grinage (sister of Frankie) 4.
