I have allowws the search for William Britt become an obsession for me. My grandmother (Rosa Britt Hayes) had an old family Bible that I have personally seen. The Bible stated that William Britt was born July 1, 1818 in Edgefield,SC. He had two children Levi and Larkin. Levi was born 5/22/1849 & Larkin was born 4/17/1851.<br />Amelia (Permelia was her given name) was the daughter of Armistead Parrish and she was 40 years younger that him. Larkin Britt was married to Permelia's sister, Missouri. <br />William married Sarah sometime before 1849. Sh was apparently dead by the time he left SC and moved to Georgia.<br />William Britt married Edie Dye on Dec 7, 1879 in Newton County, Georgia. I have seen a copy of their marriage license. The William in Gwinnett on the 1870 is not our William Britt. The age is off and he did not marry Edie until 1879.<br /><br />Here is my time line as supported by actual documents.<br /><br />1850 Edgefield, SC with Sarah and family<br />1860 Edgefield, SC with Sarah and family.<br />1870 Whereabouts unknown (but was not in Gwinnett County)<br />1879 in Newton where he married Edie Dye.<br />1880 Newton County with wide Edie<br />1890 in Emanuel County (Tax records)<br />1893 Emanuel County (Homesteading 80 acres)<br />1900 Emanuel County with wife Permelia (Parrish) and children<br />1902 Emanuel County Tax records.<br /><br />Family legend has always been that Granddaddy britt lived to a ripe old age of 104..however, I have never been able to prove this. I only know that by 1910, his wife and minor children were living with my grandparents in Emanuel County.
