Notes for LEVI DRAWDY:

LEVI DRAWDY was born in Barnwell District, South Carolina October 15, 1803,
son of John Drawdy, who was a brother of Daniel Drawdy, R. S. He grew up
and married in Barnwell County and lived there until 1834 when with his
family he moved to what was then Lowndes County, Georgia, now Lanier
County, whence many of his wife's people had already moved. His first wife
was Miss Rebecca Carter, born 1801, daughter of Elijah Carter, Sr., who
lived on Little Saltketcher Creek on the Barnwell-Colleton line in South
Carolina. She died in 1853, and was buried at Union Church near their
home. She was survived by her husband and ten children. About a year
later Mr. Drawdy married Miss Dilly Ann (properly, Delilah Ann) Hinson,
daughter of King Hinson; she was born December 25, 1812, and died March
1st, 1914, in her 102nd year. She was also buried at Union Church. There
were eleven children by the first wife and three by the second, as follows:

1. Josephb. 1824, died in childhood.
2. Narcissusb. 1826, m. J. S. Thompson of Clinch Co.
3. Christinab. 1829, m. Perry Wetherington, Lowndes Co.
4. Elizabethb. 1830, m. Felix Touchston of Lowndes Co.
5. Fairibyb. 1831, moved to South Florida with her brother Levi, and
married there about 1870.
6. Rebeccab. 1832, m. Samuel Drawdy, son of Daniel.
7. Keziahb. 1834, m. William Rhoden, Lowndes Co.
8. Levi, Jr.b. 1836, m. Pollie Ann Drawdy, daughter of Daniel.
9. Sarahb. 1838, m. G. W. Chitty of Echols Co.
10. Danielb. 1839, m. Susan Green, daughter of Noah.
11. Rachelb. 1841, died young.

13. Sylvester M.b. 185__, m. Lucinda A. Ganos, daughter of J. B.
14. Perryb. 1860, died young.

Levi Drawdy and family, on moving to this section, bought land on the west
side of the Alapaha River in present Lanier County, and lived there until
his death July 16, 1881. He was buried at Union Church.
He served as a private in 1838 in the Indian War, in Capt. Jesse Carter's
independent troop of Lowndes County militia. He and his wife Rebecca were
members of Union Church and were baptized into its membership June 7, 1834,
and died members.
Mr. Drawdy left a will dated July 25, 1864, which was probated August 25,
1881, in Lowndes Court of Ordinary. His son, Daniel, was designated as
executor. His home place and farm, Lot of Land No. 389 in 11th district of
Lowndes, was divided among the wife and surviving children: Daniel, Levi,
Jr., Sylvester M., Mrs. Wetherington, Mrs. Touchston, Mrs. Rhoden, Mrs.
Chitty and Fairiby (at that time unmarried).
