Notes - Daniel settled on the Flint River abt 9 miles north of Bainbridge,
Decatur City, GA. He was in the Screven Clity, GA 1820 Census.
Daniel was also in the Civil War, Co. G, 1st Inf. Reg't (Ramsey's)
Private 12678-12679, K, 2nd Reg't, GA Cav.
Daniel received a grant of land in Land Lot #117 in Early Co. They
left Indian River, NC about 1822 and traveled in a covered wagon drawn
by cows, bringing their possessions with them, driving the cows during
the day, and milked them early the next day. The milk was strained
into jugs, or rather gourds, which were hung beneath the wagon. Daniel
and Mary settled in Early Co. which is now Decatur Co. They built a
two story house of logs on a lovely knoll overlooking the Flint River,
later had a changing station for horses, when the Alligator Stage
Coach Line was established, 9 miles above Bainbridge. Also, they kept
an Inn. There was a boy named James Dean who came along to help. His
son, Richard Dean, lived to be nearly 100 years old. Richard told
lots of things that happened along the trip, as he remembered his
father had told them to him. Daniel had two brothers, Rev. Abner, a
Primitive Baptist, who settled near Columbus, GA, and William, who
went to TX and settled near Belcherville. (Source: Decatur Co., GA
