#listed in the 1860 Georgia census.
Drury Graydon shows up in the will of his
father in South Carolina. Sometime before 1850 he seems
to have
moved to Georgia where he remains in Clayton County as a farm
laborer.
I'm
concerned about the fact that Drury seems to have married a
woman by
the
name of Lindley and his brother Sterling marries a woman named
Lindsey.
There
is too much similarity here and my suspicion is that Sterling
marries a
Lindley
and it was misread by the primary researcher of this information
or was
written
incorrectly in the document. I still have not been able to
ascertain
who Martha's family may be but she shows up in the 1860 and 1870
census
Georgia.
1800 - Thomas Graydon shows up in the US
Census of Laurens County, South Carolina.
