Angeline County, TX Red family 1850s

SueDixey — 2012-04-19 15:13:53Z

Hello,

A working theory is that Tabitha Red? married into the John W. Perkins family.

John was born 1810 in NC, was in DallasCO,AL in 1830. Years ago I spotted a tree that suggested Tabitha is a daughter of James E. Red of GreeneCo, AL.

John and Tabitha cant be found in 1840 census but in 1850 they are in Union Parish, LA. They move on to AngelinaCo, TX about 1856, enumerated in Angelina in 1860 and in RobertsonCo, TX in 1870.

There are several Red families in Angelina in the 1850s. I find poll tax records for Meshack, Marion, Ancel to name a few. I am guessing it is no coincidence that the Reds and Perkins land in the same county in later years.

Can anyone connect with the 1850s Red family in AngelinaCo? Happy to share what my research has found.

Re: Red or Redd

This post is very old, but I will try.

My John W. Perkins married a Tabitha. Its a working theory she is/was Tabitha Red/Redd ( have seen the name spelled both ways). Some trees listed her as a daughter of James E. Red of GreeneCo, AL which is where this Red family was living around 1830. John and Tabitha would have married around mid 1830, their first child was born 1837 in AL. He is named William.

John and Tabitha can be found in AngelinaCo, Texas as early as 1856. The fact that my Perkins family lands in the same county as the Reds two decades later leads me to believe they are related. Happy to share what I know.

Thank you so much for your reply. I am sorry I have been slow in replying but the past few weeks have been extremely busy. My brother and I have been researching the Redd family and since we have not traveled to find records it is nearly impossible to find the info we need. |Rebecca was mother to my Great Grandfather, Hamilton Seymour Wamsley. If there would be pictures or other records available we would greatly appreciate it. The family has one picture of her but that is all. Thank you again
. I will look forward to your response.

Re: Asalee Redd

fdpatman — 2012-03-24 21:22:51Z

These names Asalee and Azilee are interesting. I'm descended from Redds of old Barnwell County, South Caroline, and the earliest female I can trace in my line was named "Epsily" (born in the 1790's). There was also a Redd girl born in the mid-1800's in that area named "Apsily," and I believe I saw on a post somewhere that there was also another female Redd named Apsily. I wonder if it's an old family name.

David D Redd and Epsily Redd, South Carolina to Florida

fdpatman — 2012-03-24 21:05:36Z

I am looking for information on David D. Redd, b. about 1798 in South Carolina, and his wife Epsily, also born in S.C. They apparently lived in Alabama for a while, then were in Leon County, Florida by 1850. Their children were Isaac Alderman Redd, David Duncan Redd, Marie C Redd, and Mary J Redd (married Grief H Johnson). I am wondering if David was descended from Job Red of Barnwell, SC, and also which family Epsily came from. David Redd appears in no census records prior to 1850, that I can find. I'd love to connect with anyone else researching this Redd family.

William E Mills and Pearl Lee Redd (formally Redfeather)

jennifermock2009 — 2012-03-16 01:07:28Z

Redd's of Caroline County Va

violettajb — 2012-02-03 21:40:53Z

I am researching surname Redd of Caroline County Va. My paternal Great-Great Grandfather was Wellington Albert Redd born about 1834 in Caroline County, he married a Frances Byrd (Bird) about 1861. At least two of their children John Redd and William Henry Redd were born in Caroline County b.1856-1861. Wellington and Frances migrated to Prince Georges County MD, Bladensburg, MD sometime between 1861 and 1870, Would love to make a connection with other Afro American (Mulatto) Redd's of Carolina County. I can document them after 1870 but nothing on their history in Caroline County. I only have death and marriage records that indicate they were born in Caroline county Va. Thanks Vie Sharps Jones

Mary,

My grandfather was Leslie Earl Redd who married Virginia Leeson. He passed in 1998 and my father, Thomas Redd, passed in 2007. I'm interested in tracing my family's history back through the Redd name, but am completely lost on where to start. If you could, plz send me the outline you have and I would be happy to provide the name of Leslie's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Thanks.

William Redd (b.1760's-d.1840's) of Burke Co GA

KeithMoody61 — 2011-08-28 14:52:48Z

Due to lack of records, it has been hard to piece this family together.
Below is my theory. Any additions or corrections welcome.

Descendants of William Redd

Generation No. 1

1. WILLIAM1 REDD was born Bet. 1760 - 1770, and died Bet. 1840 - 1850 in Burke Co GA. He married MARY ??. She was born Abt. 1780 in NC, and died Aft. 1850 in Richmond Co GA.

Notes for WILLIAM REDD:
NOTE: This is SPECULATION; I do not have PROOF that these are the children of William Redd of Burke Co GA. However, he is the only Red(d) listed in Burke or Richmond Co Ga in the 1820 census and it states that he had 9 possible sons in his home.

1805 GA Land Lottery
William Redd of Burke Co GA won Baldwin, D2 GB130

1820 Burke Co GA census (only Red in Burke or Richmond Co GA)
William Red 5m/10 2m10-16 2m16-26 1m45+ 1f10-16 2f16-26 1f45+

Children of WILLIAM REDD and MARY ?? are:
2. i. BERRY2 REDD, b. Bet. 1790 - 1800, SC or GA; d. Bet. 1834 - 1837, Richmond Co GA.

Notes for HIRAM REDD:
Took part in the 1821 GA Land Lottery as resident of Burke Co GA
Hiram Redd is not listed in the 1840 GA census; but Barbary Redd (20-30) is listed with two boys (5-10); is this Hiram's widow? Barbary Red does not show up in the 1850,1860 or 1870 census; she is listed in 1880 Burke Co Ga census, age 66.

3. iii. HOLLAND REDD, b. Abt. 1800; d. Bet. 1840 - 1843, Burke Co GA.
iv. THOMAS REDD, b. Bef. 1802; d. Aft. 1820.

Notes for GREEN B REDD:
Took part in the 1832 GA Gold Lottery as resident of Burke Co GA.
There is a Green Red listed in 1840 Burke Co and another in 1840 Richmond Co; I suspect that these MAY be the same person.
He left a will in Richmond Co GA; Maria left a will in Burke Co Ga; she had previously married Mr Byne.

vi. DUDLEY REDD, b. Bet. 1810 - 1814; d. Aft. 1839.

Notes for DUDLEY REDD:

Is Dudley the 2nd male 20-30 listed with Welcome Red in the 1840 census??

4. vii. NOAH REDD, b. Bet. 1810 - 1814; d. Aft. 1840.

(NOTE: this is land that NOAH Red won in the 1832 GA Land Lottery; apparently he transferred it to his brother Wellcome??)

5. ix. LAVINA REDD, b. Bet. 1794 - 1800, GA; d. Aft. 1860.
x. "GIRL" REDD, b. Bet. 1794 - 1804; d. Aft. 1820.

Generation No. 2

2. BERRY2 REDD (WILLIAM1) was born Bet. 1790 - 1800 in SC or GA, and died Bet. 1834 - 1837 in Richmond Co GA. He married MARY "POLLY" MASON 1820 in Richmond Co GA. She was born Abt. 1805 in SC, and died Bet. 1850 - 1856 in Warren Co GA or Webster Co Iowa.

Notes for BERRY REDD:

Berry Redd 1m30-40 1f<5 2f5-10 1f15-20?? 1f30-40 (the female 15-20 appears to be marked out??)

Notes for MARY "POLLY" MASON:
NOTE: This is a THEORY. I have not found definite PROOF of the names of ANY of the children of Berry Redd & Mary "Polly" Mason.

Children of BERRY REDD and MARY MASON are:
i. LAURETTA "LAURA"3 REDD, b. Abt. 1822, GA; d. 03 January 1906, Richmond Co GA; m. (1) HORACE SMITH, 1840, Cass (now Bartow) Co GA; b. Abt. 1796, New Hampshire; d. 13 May 1853, Richmond Co GA; m. (2) WILLIAM H RICH, Abt. 1858; b. Abt. 1816, New York; d. 1877, Richmond Co GA.

Notes for HOLLAND REDD:
Seminole War 1817-1818 pvt, Milton's 1st regiment of Georgia Militia
Took part in the 1827 GA Land Lottery as resident of Burke Co GA;
Took part in the 1832 GA Land Lottery-granted 16 July 1838--340-11-4 Cherokee

Augusta Chronicle, 2 June 1840: Burke County, sheriff sells 100 acres oak & hickory land, adjoining Lewis Whitfield, HOLLAND RED, et al...to satisfy four executions in favor of Green B Red vs Barbary Red
Augusta Chronicle, 19 Oct 1843: Burke County, sheriff sells 76 acres adjoining Lewis Whitfield, et al...to satisfy James R Moore, administator of estate of Jacob Evans (dcd) vs JANNET RED.

In the 1830 Burke Co GA census, Holland Red is listed (1m20-30) followed by a list of "free persons of color" including four NUNES families; including Janet Nunes 1m<10 1f<10 1f24-35.
In 1840, Holland Red appears to have added a wife & four children to his home, including two born in the 1820's (stepchildren?)
In 1850, Jannet Red has James Nunez (25) in her home (her son?)
Burke Co GA deed (1847): Charles Nunis to my "beloved niece" Genet Red "my interest in the estate of Frances Galphin (dcd); two negroes: Ned (age 40) & (male) (age 35). Charles Nunis (b.1779SC) is listed as "mulatto" in the 1850 Burke Co GA census.

Child of HOLLAND REDD and JANNET NUNEZ is:
i. SARAH J3 REDD, b. Abt. 1840, Burke Co GA; d. Aft. 1900, Burke Co GA.

Notes for SARAH J REDD:
Not married. Where is she in the 1870 & 1880 census?

4. NOAH2 REDD (WILLIAM1) was born Bet. 1810 - 1814, and died Aft. 1840. He married MARY ??. She was born Abt. 1795, and died Aft. 1860.

Notes for NOAH REDD:
Took part in the 1832 GA Land Lottery as resident of Burke Co GA.

The 1840 census indicates that he has a wife, son (b.1830-1835), son (1835-1840) & daughter (1835-1840); plus two older females.
Is Mary Red (b.1795) listed in the 1850 & 1860 Burke Co GA census his widow?
I have William Augustus Redd (1838-1911) & Cornelius A Redd (1832-1868) as possible sons of Berry Redd; but they COULD be children of Noah Redd.

Children of NOAH REDD and MARY ?? are:
i. "BOY"3 REDD, b. Bet. 1830 - 1835.
ii. "BOY" REDD, b. Bet. 1835 - 1840.
iii. VIRGINIA REDD, b. Abt. 1836; d. Aft. 1860.

Notes for VIRGINIA REDD:
Not married

iv. ELIZABETH REDD, b. Abt. 1841; d. Aft. 1850.

5. LAVINA2 REDD (WILLIAM1) was born Bet. 1794 - 1800 in GA, and died Aft. 1860. She married ?? KNIGHT. He died Bet. 1840 - 1850.

Notes for LAVINA REDD:
Green B Redd (1808-1853) left a will in Richmond Co Ga naming nephew, Cornelius Redd, & niece Lethe Knight. In 1850, Cornelius Redd was living with Lavina Knight, who had a daughter Lethe Knight. So I assume Lavina Knight is Green B Redd's sister.
Census records indicate that Lavina's husband was probably Jesse Knight (need proof)

Children of LAVINA REDD and ?? KNIGHT are:
i. PRISCILLA J W3 KNIGHT, b. Abt. 1831, GA; d. Aft. 1850.
ii. LETHE A E KNIGHT, b. Abt. 1833, GA; d. Aft. 1853.
iii. ANN E KNIGHT, b. Abt. 1838, GA; d. Aft. 1850.
iv. JESSE G R KNIGHT, b. Abt. 1843.

*******************************************

NEED PROOF:
1)that the Mrs Mary Redd who married John Fitzjarrell/Fitzgerald in 1837 is the widow of Berry Redd. Berry Redd WAS the only Redd listed in the 1830 Richmond Co census and in the 1833-1834 tax digests.
2)that the above named Redd children ARE the children of Berry Redd & Mary "Polly" Mason

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
1)The 1830 Richmond Co GA census shows that Berry & Mary Redd had three daughters under the age of 10. Lauretta Redd (b.1822) & Amelia Redd (b.1828) claimed "born GA, parents born South Carolina" and they eventually moved back to and died in Richmond Co GA.
2)Mary Mason & 2nd husband John Fitzgerald were listed in the 1850 Warren Co GA census. Their six month old son John Henry Fitzgerald was christened in Feb 1843 at the Catholic Church near Sharon, Taliaferro GA GA.
3)In the 1850 census, Lauretta Redd Smith & Harriett Redd Jones are living six houses apart, listed near Sharon, Taliaferro Co GA
4)Although Amelia Redd's marriage is recorded in Greene Co GA; the actual marriage was done by a priest at the Catholic Church near Sharon, Taliaferro Co GA
5)Amelia Redd Bischoff & Lauretta Redd Smith Rich are buried in the same plot of Magnolia Cemetery, Augusta GA.
6)William Augustus Redd & Amelia Redd Bischoff had sons with the unusual name Isidore
7)Cornelius A Redd was murdered in 1868; Harriett Redd Jones had son Cornelius Wayne Jones (1874) & William Augustus Redd had son Cornelius Redd (b.1872)
8)Augustus Redd (14) was listed in the 1850 Richmond Co GA census with Mary Redd, age 70 (possibly his grandmother) & directly next door to Green B Redd (b.1809). Green B Redd died in 1853 Richmond Co Ga, leaving a will in which he mentions nephew Cornelius Redd.
9)Records for Magnolia Cemetery, Augusta, Ga show that Cornelius A Redd (1832-1868) was "born Augusta GA"; Berry & Mary Redd were the only Redd family living in Richmond Co in 1832.

Thomas Redd and John Rudd in VA-1700s

tunnelm1 — 2011-08-06 00:53:51Z

Has anyone ever proven or disproven (by DNA testing or other reasonable means) if the Thomas Redd who married a Miss Farguson was related to the John Rudd who married Avis Whitaker? Please be aware that DNA testing, combined with some new/additional research, shows that the brothers George Brown and Alexander Brown, who each married a Miss Rudd (and who had a brother who was named Daniel Brown, with all three men being sons of "Old" William Brown who died in Henrico Co., VA in the 1730s), were NOT related to the Daniel Brown who married Elizabeth Coleman (and whose daughter married a Samuel Farguson....who was a brother of Thomas Redd's wife). Despite that, however, it would appear that there was still a "common link" between the Farguson family and both Thomas Redd and John Rudd (per another researcher, a Mr. Farguson witnessed the Will of John Rudd, as I recall). Any/all information on the above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Redd/Rudd Surname; JOSEPH REDD of SC

tunnelm1 — 2011-08-06 00:42:44Z

The Daniel Brown who was a son of "Old William Brown" of Henrico Co., VA....and who was a brother of a George Brown and Alexander Brown (who each married a Miss Rudd)....was a member of DNA "Group 69" at the Brown Genealogy Society DNA testing project. The Daniel Brown who married Elizabeth Coleman was a member of the unrelated DNA "Group 10." Despite this, the "common connection" between the Farguson family and both Thomas Redd and John Rudd may still support the conclusion that the Redd and Rudd families were "one and the same." DNA testing, however, would be the best way to prove or disprove it, of course.

I have suspected for some time now that there was a connection of some sort between the "Group 10" Browns and the "Group 69" Browns in VA....and maybe the "common connections" to the Rudd/Redd family is one of the reasons that these two unrelated Brown families seemed to "hang-out" together in the 1700s. If anyone has PROOF that Thomas Redd was related to John Rudd....please let me know. Thanks!

Re: Redd ancestors

rcaton31 — 2010-12-25 14:08:53Z

There is a William Redd, he was born in Nansemond County, Virginia. Was a private in the Revolutionary War. Had many children. One was named Siglee or Sigley depending on who spelled it. They lived in the Stump Sound area of Onslow County. He married a woman by the name of Seale in 1780. there is some speculation that his father's name may have been W. Whitaker Redd also from Va. Which could have been William Whitaker Redd. and that he was named after his father too a William. It can get so darn confusing. I'm still trying to sort this one out. Most of Nansemond County records were destroyed so it's hard to find actual records.

I have limited family information on my fathers side. I know my father is Joseph Austin Redd, his mother June Austin Redd, and I think his father is Johns Redd.

Joseph was born in KY, I think June(maiden name Austin) is from VA, but they all lived in WV for a good while.

I've been trying to find my family history, but can't seem to find any one from my fathers family history.

I'd really like to know my fathers family tree to pass along to my children. Thanks to everyone who might be able to help.

My grandmother is Elizabeth Redd. Her father was William E.Redd. b.1877 who is the son of Housie Redd.
As far as the kids being separated....I do recall being told that Elizabeth had about 4or 5 siblings. One of her siblings died in a car crash. Elizabeth raised 2 of the children as her own. I dont know how many children were left orphaned by the car crash, or if this is even the same Elizabeth Redd.

The names in your post are the closest that I've come to anything. The mother is said to be an Elizabeth Redd, the children were seperated, This was in new York. The last name can either be Redd or Boon(e). There is a son David born in 1950. The person Elizabeth is thought to have been with is Henry Boon(e). If you can think of anything please let me know.

I haven't learned much about deeds, wills, and such and how to go about researching them. I wish there was someone around here that could teach me how to look that info up and how it worked and how to research it at the court house. Better yet, I wish I could have a job just doing that kind of research at the Tate, Desoto, Lafayette and Carroll county courthouses and be paid for it.
