STATEN, JOHN
1773-1814
TATTNALL.

John Staten, the father of Barzilla Staten (Vol. 1), was born in Effingham County in 1775. He was married there August 8, 1794 to Penelope Sellars, daughter of Samuel Sellars. To them were born three chidren:

1. Barzillab. 1795, m. Catherine Watson.
2. Penelopeb. 1797, m. William Branch.
3. Elizabethb. 1798, m. John J. Johnson.

About 1806-1808, John Staten and family, his widowed mother, his wife's widowed mother and his wife's brother, Samuel Sellars, and others of the family connection, moved from Effingham County to Tattnall County where they located. John Staten granted 975 acres of land in the fork of Cobb's Creek, built his home there, cleared up a farm, and lived there until his death in 1814. The widow and the son, Barzilla, and daughter, Mrs. Branch, sold their interest in this property, 975 acres, to John J. Johnson (who by law owned his wife's share of the property); deed dated April 6, 1819 (deed book ABC, page 227, Tattnall County.) The widow and son, Barzilla, and Mrs. Branch then moved to Appling County where she is shown as head of a family in 1820 census. She died in Appling County about 1835.
