General Notes (Husband)
William Henry Feagin, Sr. remains some what of a myst e r y . He was born in South Carolina, probably coming t o Ge or gia because of the Cherokee land that was sold or p ossib l y be cause he received a land grant. He owned slav es an d m ust have been a wealthy farmer. He mentions cotto n i n hi s will so it is assumed that he farmed at least th at c ro p . His will giving slaves to various children i s date d ri ght in the middle of the Civil War. Could it b e tha t he le ft to fight at age 59? The South at that tim e ha d a sever e shortage of soldiers and was taking olde r men a nd young b oys . In any case, he left his childre n who re mained in G eorgia, and disappeared. I have check ed Civi l War record s , Alabama records, etc., and have ye t to fin d a trace o f where he disappeared to.

In a ddition, William did have family -tie-typ e land transaction s with Michael James Feagin an d the Hamm ocks, both known ch ildren of James Feagin.

General Notes (Wife)
Jane Drennan was 24 on the 1850 census, thus giving h e r a b irthdate of about 1826. Her surname is given her e a s Drenn an. It is spelled differently in other source s . I origina ly thought her surname was JOHNS which is in co rrect.
