Generation No. 1

1. JOSIAH4 BAISDEN (JOSIAH3, HUGH2 BASDEN, JAMES1) (Source: Onslow County NC Deeds, Records of Onslow County N.C., Zae H. Gynn.) was born 1760 in Onslow Co, N.C. (Source: History of Onslow County.), and died 1838 in Hamilton Co., FL. He married MARY DUNHAM (Source: Liberty County GA Deeds.) 1799 in Liberty Co, GA, daughter of JOHN DUNHAM and SARAH CLANCY. She was born 1775 in McIntosh Co, GA (Source: Christian Index Obituaries.), and died 10 Oct 1839 in Jasper, Hamilton, FL (Source: Christian Index Obituaries, p. 9, Original record in issue of 11-14-1839 p. 735, column 1.).

In the 1830 Census of Liberty County Ga Josiah is listed as between the 70 - 80 years old.

 

Children of JOSIAH BAISDEN and MARY DUNHAM are:

2. i. FRANCIS JANE5 BAISDEN, b. Abt. 1800, Liberty Co., GA..

ii. JOSEPH BAISDEN (Source: Letter of Edith Peterson McCleery. Granddaughter of Rosa H. Baisden Peterson.), b. 1805, Liberty Co., GA. (Source: Christian Index Obituaries.); d. 03 Nov 1835, Hamilton Co., FL (Source: Christian Index Obituaries.); m. SARAH M. DUNHAM (Source: Liberty County GA Deeds.), 1831, Liberty Co., GA. (Source: Liberty County GA Deeds, Bk L, p 42.); b. Abt. 1813; d. 03 Aug 1866, Walthourville, Liberty Co., GA (Source: Christian Index Obituaries, 1822 - 1879.).

Notes for JOSEPH BAISDEN:

There is some question if Joseph is the son of Josiah. Edith McCleery's letter states that Rosa Baisden Peterson always said that she, Rosa, had to two brothers. When Mary Dunham Baisden and Josiah Baisden died in 1839 and 1838 only one son was living, Josiah. The decendants of Josiah Jr. do not believe that there was a second son.

If Edith was correct and a second son of Mary and Josiah exists, Joseph Baisden husband of Sarah M. Dunham is the likely person.

iii. SARAH A. BAISDEN (Source: Hamilton County FL Deeds.), b. 03 Nov 1807, Liberty Co., GA. (Source: Pine Grove Cemetery, Wellborn, Suwannee, FL.); d. 27 Jun 1889, Wellborn, Suwannee, FL (Source: Pine Grove Cemetery, Wellborn, Suwannee, FL.); m. MATHIAS MICKLER, 1832, , Hamilton Co., FL; b. 1812, Saint Mary's, Camden Co., GA (Source: Pine Grove Cemetery, Wellborn, Suwannee, FL.); d. 28 Jan 1871, Wellborn, Suwannee, FL (Source: Pine Grove Cemetery, Wellborn, Suwannee, FL.).

Notes for MATHIAS MICKLER:

According to the estate papers for Mathias or Matthews Mickler, he had no children of his body. The estate was divided between his wife Sarah Ann Baisden; some of his siblings: Lawrence Mickler, Elizabeth Mickler Martin and Caroline Mickler Tompkins; and the four boys Sarah and Mathias raised -- William J. Mickler, J. Hopkins Mickler, J. Bartley Mickler, and Thomas M. Mickler. The boys split a single share of the estate. Since the estate was split between the wife and siblings, the boys were probably the children of a brother of Mathias.
