1839. (2nd) The maiden name of the wife of the son, George W. Drawdy, was 
Nancy Spells. (3rd) The name of the husband of the daughter, Elizabeth, was

daughter of King Hinson, but rather was his sister. Her first husband was 
Noah Green by whom she had nine children who lived in Berrien, Clinch and

only two children by the second wife, viz., Sylvester M. Drawdy and Perry 
Drawdy. (4th) The second husband of the daughter, Keziah, was Horace Cox of 
Clinch County, a son of Samuel D. Cox of Berrien County.

DRAWDY, DANIEL (p. 70): He resided in Telfair County in 1818 at which time 
he served in the militia under Capt. John Wilcox in repelling Indian raids 
upon the frontiers of the county. In his application for bounty land, 
executed Feb 6, 1858, he stated that his company was hastily called out to 
drive the Indians back and punish them; that on the evening of March 30, 
1818, they came upon the savages and a severe engagement ensued in which 
five whites were killed and three others wounded. The company then was 
permitted to return to their homes and await further orders. His 
application was denied on account of no company rolls being found in 
Washington. His application was supported by the affidavit of Redding Hu  
nter and John Lawson, both of whom testified they were in the same 
engagement with him.
