PREVATT, JAMES D.1783-185?WAYNE (GA) HAMILTON (FL)

James D. Prevatt, born 1783 in the Beaufort District of South Carolina. He was probably the son of James Prevatt Sr (RS). His wife, Elizabeth, was born about 1790 in Georgia. Nothing is known of her family history.

James and Elizabeth had ten children. Seven have been identified:

1. Rachel b. ????, m. James Tarpley Hooker (q.v.).
2. Catherine b. 1807, m. John Crews.
3. Elizabeth L.b. ????, m. Haynes Bryan.
4. James H. b. 1815, m. Frances E. ??????.
S. Jonathan K.b. 1820, m. Sarah S. P. Smith.
6. John T. b. 1824, m. never married.
7. William J. D.b. 1827, m. Jennet McDonald.

As early as October 1810, James D. was in Glynn County, Georgia. By November 1813, he was a private in the Wayne County militia, in Lt. J. B. Stewart's Company and from December 1814 to January 1815, he was in Capt. Richard Walker's Detachment at Fort Wayne. He also was a Justice of the Peace in Wayne County from 1814 to 1816. In 1821, James D. received a Bounty Land Grant in Wayne County and in 1822 his wife was a member of the High Bluff Baptist Church.

From December 1823 to August 1824, James D. was one of five men appointed by the Georgia State Legislature to select a site for the permanent county seat of Wayne County. In May 1826, he sold his land in Wayne County and, before 1830, moved to Hamilton County Florida.

From 1834 to 1839, James D. received five patents for land in Hamilton County and in September of 1839 he and Elizabeth were listed among the founders of the Prospect Primitive Baptist Church in that county.

In 1844, he became the guardian of the orphaned children of his deceased daughter Rachel and her deceased husband, James Tarpley Hooker. The guardianship of Elizabeth B. and Caroline Matilda Hooker was formalized in 1846. In April and October 1852, James sold almost all of his land in Hamilton County. Neither he nor his wife appear in the 1860 census records which may indicate that they both died between 1852 and 1860.

Notes
General:
Mary Crews widow of the elder Micajah: Minutes, Jan. 3, 1825: Mrs. Mary Crews, Executrix of Micajah Crews, was granted leave to sell a slave named Daniel, belonging to the estate. She was appointed guardian of Mary E. North.

MARY CREWS, Executrix of will of MICAJAH, dec'd., JOSEPH CREWS, JOHN S. GOODBREAD AND ESTHER A. B. CREWS, legatees of dec'd., to JOHN J. NORTH. Bond was dated Aug 7, 1826. It is recited that MARY E.J. NORTH, daughter of John J. North, has been in the care of her grandmother the said MARY CREWS ever since her birth and that her father, the said John J. North, has agreed to leave her with said Mary for the latters lifetime and afterwards to live with some of the legatees named above, wherefore they the legatees give John J. North their bond obligating themselves to take care, rear and educate said Mary E.J. North without expense to her father. witnessses: William B. North, EDWARD CREWS and ROBERT PAXON, J.P.

Enumerated in the Great Satilla River area of Camden County, GA during the 1830 Census. No males and two other females enumerated in her household. One female is 10-15 years of age; this female would be grand daughter Mary E. J. North. The other female is likely Esther A. B. as she didn't marry until December of 1830.

Eldest daughter Mary (mother of Mary E. J. North) was deceased and judging from above statement, likely died during childbirth.
