WAYNE
JACOB RAULERSON, ancestor of a large family connection of Wayne and Brantley counties, was born in 1778 in South Carolina. He came to Georgia in early life and married. His wife, Mary, was born in this state in 1780 but so far her maiden name has not been learned. Jacob Raulerson moved to Appling County in 1819 and settled on Lot 415, 4th District of Appling County (now in Wayne). This was on the Little Satilla River. He later sold out and settled on the same river on Lot 67, 3rd District of Wayne (now Brantley County) near the present village of Hortense. He died there in 1857. In his will he directed that his body be buried in the "old family burying grounds at Samuel M. Pearson's".
Jacob was married three times:
Nancy Mary Baggs during 1798
Courtney Keightly during 1828
Mary Ann Dennison during 1848
To Jacob and Mary Raulerson were born the following children:
1. Elizabeth
2. Herod
3. Sidney
4. Elender
5. Lenora
6. Mary
7. Ichabod
8. Henrietta b. 1818, m. George W. S. Waldron Sep 5, 1833.
To Jacob and Courtney were born the following children:
9. James F.
10. David
11. Russell
12. Nancy
13. Isabelle
14. (name unknown)
The will of Jacob Raulerson was dated April 22, 1857, and was probated November 2, 1857, and named his sons, Russell and James F. Raulerson,and son-in-law, Samuel M. Pearson, as executors. It directed that his five slaves, all his other personal property, and a lot in Cherokee County and land Lots 67 and 247 in the 3rd district, Wayne County, be sold and proceeds equally divided between Ichabod, James F., Russell, David and Wade H. Raulerson, Samuel M. Pearson, Hillery Cason and Abraham N. Knight. The other children were allowed nominal legacies of $10 each. His wife, Mary, was provided for in the will. The estate inventory showed a total of $3235.83 in notes and accounts and "perishables," and $8223.74 in slaves, lands, etc. It appears that the deceased was operating a country store at the time of his death in addition to his plantation operations.
Mr. Raulerson served in the militia during the War of 1812 serving as a lieutenant in the Wayne County militia in 1813, and as a mounted spy under Capt. Richard Walker at Fort Wayne on the Wayne County frontier in the winter of 1814-1815.
