LEAVES FROM OUR
TREE:
Descendants of Isaac David
Welcome
to our web site!
These pages tell some of the stories
of several of the earliest families to settle in the
area known today as Madison County, Georgia, but focusing
here on the descendants of Isaac David, a soldier in
the Revolutionary War.
Each family played a part in taming
and civilizing a wilderness only recently ceded by the
Indians. These sturdy pioneers set up their new homes
in an area where "conditions were primitive and
justice was rude but swift. For ten years after the
end of the Revolution, most counties had neither courthouses
nor jails. Trials were held in some private residence
or under a tree." (Coulter, E.
Merton. Georgia: a Short History. Chapel Hill,
NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1947,. p 196-7.)
We compiled the lineages of these descendants
to the best of our ability and present them here. Many
hours of work by many contributing family members have
been put into the research and documentation of these
family members. We all have attempted to make the following
data as complete and accurate as possible, but we know
that gaps and errors do exist. As with any genealogical
research, this is a work in progress. Additions and
corrections are welcomed. To protect privacy, we have
omitted personal data on persons still living.
Visitors
who print out data from this, or any, Web site, should
also print out the source citations (if available).
Our source citations are included on this Web site,
but the Webmaster did not personally verify all of them.
The Webmaster did categorize each source as either primary
or secondary.
- Visitors
may rely with reasonable confidence upon sources
marked as primary since this category includes public
records, photos of tombstones, family Bible pages,
or original documents in the possession of the Webmaster
or another family member.
- Visitors
should verify all data from sources in the secondary
category before relying on the information. Secondary
resources include published books and genealogy
reports, information shared over the Internet without
source citations, undocumented family stories or
legends, etc.
- If
a source (usually a living family member) was marked
both primary and secondary, it means that person
possesses primary family documents for him/herself,
his/her own spouse, children, parents and possibly
grandparents. However, for generations beyond the
grandparents, the visitor should treat the data
as coming from a secondary source and verify it.
