DAVID MIZELL OF EFFINGHAM AND BULLOCH COUNTIES, GA 

There is confusion between David Mizell b.1770, St. Matthew Parish, GA (son of Charlton Mizell and David Mizell b.1784, GA (son of David Mizell and Sarah _____).  David Mizell b.1770 moved to Camden Co, GA and is listed in these censuses: 1820 Camden Co GA, 1830 Alachua Co  FL, 1840 Columbia Co FL. The other David Mizell b.1784, GA moved from Bulloch Co, GA about 1810 and settled in Washington Parish, LA. 

The biggest area of confusion deals with the marriage of David Mizell and Sarah Albritton.  Both David Mizell b.1770, GA and David Mizell b.1784, GA have been identified as the husband of Sarah Albritton.  Research clearly shows that it was the David Mizell b.1784, who married Sarah Albritton.  This becomes clear when the probate of Richard Albritton is examined.  It is in St. Helena Parish, LA; 1816, File A-2.  In a list of heirs is written, "David Measels husband of Sary Measels Alias Sary Allbritton who departed this life about twelve months ago last April leaving three children legitimate heirs of her body, viz: John, Elvira, and Avarilla Measels."  Other significant names in that list are: Robert Sibley, Reddick Sibley, John Richardson.  These are significant because they also tie back to Bulloch Co, GA. 

All the records of Bulloch Co, GA apparently refer to David Mizell b.1784, GA and his father David Mizell, SR (brother of Charlton) and the records in Camden Co, GA refer to the David Mizell b.1770.  These families were closely tied together.  It appears that Charlton Mizell was the brother of David Mizell, who married Sarah Carter.  In 1793, Platt Book "B" of Effingham Co, GA, pg 134 is a survey of the land of Isaac Sibley.  It is bordered by David Mizell and James Mizell.  I think these two were brothers of Charlton.  Avarilla Albritton (daughter of Richard Albritton) married Robert F. Sibley (son of Isaac Sibley).  Many of the Sibleys, Albrittons, Richardsons, and Mizells moved to Washington & St. Helena 
Parishes in LA. 

Two other items of note in Bulloch Co, GA: 

Conveyance Record A, pg 35.  7 May 1800.  David Mizell to Hardy Richardson.  Witnesses Simon Williams, William Williams, John Sharp. Sworn before Richard Albritton, J.P.  NOTE: William Williams & Simon Williams also moved to Washington Parish, LA bef 1820.  This David Mizell is the brother of Charlton Mizell. 

Conveyance Record A, pg 80.  21 Mar 1803.  David Mizell to Daniel Boatwright.  Signed by David Mizell & Sarah Mizell.  In presence of Hardy Richardson, E.S.P.   NOTE:  I think this is the same David Mizell as above and gives the wife's first name as Sarah ______.  THIS IS NOT SARAH ALBRITTON, since they David Mizell and Sarah Albritton married in 1808.  This appears to be the father and mother of David Mizell b.1784. 

What is the maiden name of Sarah?  Dr. E. Russ Williams, Jr. in a phone conversation said her maiden name was Carter.  I have found some items that support this.  David Mizell  b.1814, LA and son of John Mizell b.1790, GA (son of David Mizell & Sarah ______) and Polly Griffin; named his 3d child Carter Mizell.  John Mizell is listed in the 1820,1830,1840 and 1850 censuses of Washington Parish, LA.  In the 1850 census with John Mizell and his wife is listed Ben Carter age 74, NC.  Could this Ben Carter be a younger brother of Sarah Carter Mizell?  This is all that I have at this time that supports the theory that Sarah's maiden name was Carter. 

Here is what I have on David Mizell b.1784, GA:

Around 1850-1860 a family named Boulware moved to Waldo head of household being Martha (husband's first name I'm looking for). According to the census report from Fairfeild county S.Carolina 1850 Martha had I believe 7 children - oldest to youngest being: Anna age 24, Sarah -22, Benjamin -21 , William -19 , Thomas -17 , Robert -16 and Eliza -12. Sarah had four children Martha -6 , Falcoln -4 and Henry -1 and a son from a previous marriage or relationship name being Thomas Lewis -8. Martha had a net worth including slaves in 1850 of roughly $3,500.00. 

Falcoln moved to the Hawthorn - Cross Creek area and raised a family and went on to sit on the board of county comissioners in Alachua county from 1905-1909 and died in 1931. There is a plaque on the old Alachua county courthouse west wall north end with some men listed {Falcon being one of them} as serving in a regiment that was commanded by Stonewall Jackson . This my father showed me years ago and I have been 
researching on and off ever since. 

I have more information but need the name of Sarah's husband to make the right connection to my family. The Paulding-Paulling family has resided as a permanent fixture here in Alachua county ever since Martha moved here around 1850. We are also related to the Hawthorn and Johnson families. Hawthorn being the name to which the town of Hawthorn was named for. I also discovered that Marjorie K. Rawlings mentioned some of my family in one of her books. I would say that a large population of the people buried in the old and new cemeteries in Hawthorne are related to my family.

Gottlieb Sherouse (or Shearouse) was the son of Johannes and Anna M. Mohr (also spelled Maurer or Moore) Shearouse.  He was born in the Salzburger settlement of Ebenezer, Effingham Co, Georgia around 1794.  He was descended from one of the original Salzburger colonists to arrive in Georgia with General Oglethorpe. His grandfather, Johannes Schraus was 12 years old when the ship Loyal Judith arrived at Savannah in 1734. 

Gottleib Sherouse and Sarah Salome Freyermuth, daughter of John Peter and Anna Catherine Groll Freyermuth of Saxe Gotha, were married in Ebenezer, Ga on 29 Jan 1818.  They would become the progenitors of the Florida branch of the Shearouse/Sherrouse/Sherouse family. 

Gottlieb appears in the 1820 Lowndes County, Georgia census and in 1825 is in Alachua County.  Gottlieb served in the Florida Mounted Volunteers during the  Seminole Wars. Gottlieb Sherouse applied for land under the Armed Occupation Act of Florida 1842 which he successfully homesteaded as evidenced by his receipt of  title to 150 acres of land.  Gottlieb farmed the land and worked as a carpenter. His sons, John C., Israel and Cletus (or Clatus) were also granted land under this same Act.  Israel and John Christian also settled in Alachua County. 

Gottlieb is listed in the records as one of the first voters in the first statehood election held 26 May 1845.  He voted at the Ebenezer Meeting House Precinct along with his sons John C. and Israel Sherouse and Benjamin Grantham.  The Grantham and Sherouse families would become closely allied over the years through the marriages of Benjamin's and Gottlieb's descendants. 

Gottlieb and Salome Sherrouse had the following children: Mary Sherouse m. Abraham Guthrie; John Christian Sherouse b. 25 Jan 1820 m.1st. Emily Grantham and 2nd. Matilda Grantham - both daughters of Benjamin Grantham; Israel Shearouse b. 1821 m. Jane Wiggins; Cletus Sherouse b. 1826 m. Mary Grantham; Annie Sherouse b. 1827 m.

SAMUEL THOMAS and his family were in Alachua County by 1834 and continued living there until 
after the Civil War when they moved to Marion County.  Samuel THOMAS came from Colleton County, SC where his son Joseph was born in 1820.  Samuel voted at Spring Grove in Alachua in 1834 and he and Joseph served in George Center's militia company out of Micanopy in November, 1835.  Samuel voted at Fernando Underwood's house in 1836 and the family appeared on the US Army's list of refugees from Alachua County who took refuge from the Indians at Ft. Heilman in Duval County on July 18,1837.  The family consisted of Samuel and his wife Sophia plus Joseph, James, George, Sophia and Milley. 

Samuel and his family had been living in the Sampson River area of what is now Bradford County, and consequently became residents of Columbia County for a time when the boundries changed.  When the first election was held after Florida became a state in 1845, Joseph voted in the same precinct as before 
but was in Columbia County at that time.  Samuel died in 1849, and Joseph's appointment as administrator of his estate, along with W.C. Crosby and Thomas J. Prevatt is recorded in Bonds and Letters Book A of Alachua County's public records.  Joseph had been included in the Alachua County tax roll again from 1846, but the family may have never moved despite being in three different counties in the space of ten years. 

Joseph had married Lucinda UNDERWOOD in Nassau County in 1840 and the had their first child, Charles, in 1843.  The family is shown in the 1850 census of Alachua County.  In 1853 Joseph purchased 180 acres near Theressa, which was then in Alachua County but now in Bradford.  Joseph was shown on the Alachua County Tax rolls through the 1850's and the family is included in the 1860 Alachua County Census.  The family contintue to live at Theressa until after the Civil War, moving to Marion County in 1866.  Descendents of the family still live here in Marion and have contributed to the development of 
this county since leaving Alachua. Joseph's son Charles Thomas enlisted in Company C of the 7th Florida Infantry at Camp Lee in Gainesville in 1862 and served in all of the campaigns of the Army of Tennessee.  He was wounded at Missionary Ridge on November 25, 1863, but finished the war with his unit as 4th Corporal.
