Hey Kathy,

The following covers more than one topic. However, as you can see from
reading it - all are interconnected.

Where did you find your 'WILL SOURCE'? I cannot recall having ever seen
that book. My Reddicks were likely in Halifax sometime between 1775 and
1785, living around Francis Paris' mill pond on Brier Creek.

My gggg-grandfather Nicholas Reddick was there by May of 1785 when he
appeared in a court case. Nicholas and his three brothers were probably
fathered by John Raddick / Readick / Reddick, who had gotten land on the
Ogeechee River in 1767 & '75 (across from Oliver & Halcyondale). An
earlier 1764 land acquisition in Christ Church Parish by John 'Raddick'
had been witnessed by Francis Paris, as was the 1767 land acquition on
the Ogeechee. There was some sort of connection between Francis Paris
and the early generations of Reddicks from Christ Church Parish (Chatham
Co.) up along the Ogeechee River and then across to Brier Creek.

By 1792 the Ogeechee River property of John Reddick had passed into the
possession of John Michael Burkhalter. This is known from two 1792
survey plats found in the Effingham County courthouse. The four Reddick
brothers (presumed sons of John Reddick) had been living along Brier
Creek since at least as early as the Spring of 1785.

I've probably said this very nearly too many times on this list, but the
miller Francis Paris was an important person in what was then Halifax
District. He had two mills built at his mill site on Brier Creek ("Mill
Town" was what he advertised it as, while everyone else called it Paris'
Mill - now known as Millhaven). Apparently, he may have had a third
mill in that vicinity. He was a Justice of the Peace. He had been a
servant to the first 'President' of the colony of Georgia - William
Stephens. He acted in an official capacity for some of his neighbors
and perhaps friends or relatives - providing witness for them in the
Royal Colonial offices in Savannah. If you ever find a Francis Paris
connection to anyone you're researching then let me know about it. I'm
the ADMIN for all four of the Paris and Parris message boards & e-mail
lists on RootsWeb. I try to share whatever I'm ever to learn about
Francis Paris with those lists. There are Paris descendants throughout
both Burke and Screven Counties.
