Noah H. Driggers
Noah H. Driggers was born in 1832 in South Carolina. There is no record yet found that explicitly lists his parents. However, he is listed at age 18 on the 1850 census in the household of John Capers Driggers and his wife Nancy after all of their children. Since he would have been too old to be their son, it is likely John was a relative.
In 1857, he purchased 160 acres of land in Alachua, FL. In 1859, he married Martha Stokes. They had one son, Edmund, in 1860.
Noah served in the Confederate Army, but eventually switched sides and joined with the Union. He enlisted on 4/2/1862 at Gainesville, FL as a Private. On 4/2/1862 he mustered into "D" Co. FL 7th Infantry
He deserted by joining the US forces on 10/14/1864 at Rock Island, IL.
After the war, he and Martha had one more son, Riley, in 1868. It appears that Martha may have died in child birth. It also appears that Edmund died at some point. By the 1870 census, Noah is listed as a single father with his 2 year old son Riley living in Brooksville, FL.
Some time in the next year, Noah met and married Lydia Crews. The marriage record did not survive a fire at the Hernando County courthouse. Lydia gave birth to 11 children, 3 of which died very young (J.M., Charlie, and Tryphena J.). The other 8 children consisted 5 sons (Henry A., Samuel Mitchell, Wesley Evan, Addison Albert, and John Capers) and 3 daughters (Agnes Eugenia, Annie Elizabeth, and Barbery Frances).
In 1881, Noah was granted 160 acres of land spanning Hernando and part of Citrus County by the US government for his service.
Noah died on November 30, 1895 and is buried at New Church Cemetery in Brooksville, FL.
After his death, his wife Lydia eventually auctioned off the land he owned and moved the family to Pinellas County.

CHARLTON
Benjamin Melton (or Milton), was born in Bulloch County in 1799, a son of Nathaniel and Nancy Milton of that county. The elder Milton died there intestate in 1818. Benjamin came to Wayne County a young unmarried man and married there in 1821. His wife was Nancy Dryden, born 1797 in Warren County, daughter of William Dryden (Vol. III). They had the following known children:
1. Timothy
2. Sallie
3. Elias
4. Anna
5. Moses
6. Fannie
7. Aaron J.
When Ware County was created out of Appling in 1824, Mr. Melton moved there and bought lot 15, 8th district, May 1st, 1826, from James D. Prevatt. He later bought and owned other lands there, and continued to live in Ware until 1854 when he was cut out of Ware into Charlton County in its formation. He died there in 1858. His widow survived him about fifteen years and died in Charlton County.
Benjamin Melton served in Capt. James A. Sweat's company of Ware County militia in 1838, in the Indian War.
Note: The name is spelled "Milton" in early records and "Melton" in later records, and was evidently originally "Milton"
