STATEN, BarzillaBarzilla Staten, one of the first settlers of Appling County, was born in Georgia about 1791, a son of John and Penelope Staten and only grandson of Solomon and Elender Staten. The family moved to Georgia and first settled in Effingham County where Solomon granted 365 acres of land in 1792. They later moved to Tattnall County where the subject's father and grandparents died. Solomon Staten died in 1815, leaving a will dated November 2, 1807, probated March 6, 1.815, bequeathing his estate to his wife, Elender, and his grandson, Barzilla Staten. Mrs. Elender Staten died in 1817, leaving a will dated March 6, 1815, probated May 15, 1817, bequeathing her estate to her grandson, Barzilla Staten, and "to the heirs of my son, John Staten, deceased." A deed of record in Tattnall County, dated 1819, conveys the home place lands of John Staten, deceased, consisting of 975 acres "in the fork of Collins Creek where John Staten lived." This deed was signed by Mrs. Penelope (Penny) Staten, the widow, Mrs. Penelope Branch (daughter) and Barzilla Staten (son), and was made to John Johnson (who later signed his name as John J. Johnson) and who married Elizabeth Staten, one of the heirs also. The widow and her son, Barzilla, then moved across the Altamaha River into the new County of Appling. They appear in the 1820 Census of Appling as "Zilar Staten" and "Penny Staten", heads of families.

Barzilla Staten, the subject, was married about 1817 to Miss Catherine Watson, born 1801 in Robeson County, North Carolina. Her father, James Watson, was a native of Scotland, and removed to Tattnall County, Georgia in 1816. Her mother, Mrs. Catherine Watson, was born 1780 in North Carolina, and spent her last years with her daughter and only child, Mrs. Staten, dying about 1858 in Clinch County, Georgia. Mrs. Staten died October 23, 1885; spent her last years in Echols County. She was buried at Union Church on the Alapaha River. To Barzilla and Catherine Staten were born:

Barzilla Staten in Appling County came to be the owner of a fine plantation, but about 1830 he decided to move to Lowndes County. He sold out in Appling and moved to Lowndes and settled on the east side of the Alapaha River, on Lot of Land No. 504, 11th District of original Irwin but at that time in Lowndes County. He afterwards acquired nearby Lots 503 and 508 (granted from the State February 3, 1842) and Lot 505 by purchase. On these four lots he had three or four farms. A large two-story frame residence was his home on Lot 504. At his death Mr. Staten owned fourteen slaves, or perhaps even more, the fourteen being the number sold at administrator's sale in February, 1847. The Staten lands were cut into Clinch County out of Lowndes in February, 1850, and in 1920 were placed in the new County of Lanier.
Mr. Staten was an ensign in the Tattnall County militia, 42nd District, G.M. 1817-1819. He was Captain of the militia in the 443rd district of Appling County, 1821-1822. In the Indian War of 1836-1838 he served in Capt. Levi J. Knight's Company of Lowndes County Militia and was badly wounded in a skirmish with the Indians at Cow Creek a few miles south of where he, Mr. Staten, was living at the time. This was on August 27, 1836. In the 1838 campaign he served in the same company as First Lieutenant. The wound he received in 1836 left him crippled and shortened his life. He died in 1846.
Jesse W. Carter, William S. Roberts and Jonathan Knight were the administrators of the Staten estate. They sold Lots 505 and 508 February 4, 1847 at public sale to James W. Staten, Lots 503 and 504 to Quarterman B. Staten, January 4, 1853, according to deeds on record. Barzilla Staten, Jr., later came to own the home place, and gave it to his only child, Mattie (b. 1867) the wife of David C. Fender.
