Notes:
Benjamin Echols, Early Settler
In 1784 Franklin County's northern border divided the Cherokee Indian Land from the newly formed county. This county was still a wilderness when the first settlers arrived and they had hard work clearing and building their log homes. The Superior Court for the new land chose the home of Warren Philpot to be the site for the first courts, but in February 1787, the site was changed to the home of Benjamin Acles ( Echols) and this became the location for the first courts. The courthouse was built in 1793.
Benjamin married his cousin Sabra Hendrick around 1755 and they had eight children. Benjamin and his family lived on Estanolle Creek in Franklin County, Georgia which was an area with rich farm land. In 1788 he became the Justice of Peace and held this position for several years. Many land deeds can be found where he buys and sells land and in 1806 he is living adj. his daughter Sabra and her husband Ambrose Downs on Estanolle Creek.
His wife, Sabra died in 1818 and the next year he left Georgia to live with his son, John who lived in Monroe County, Mississippi. John became the administrator of his father's will in 1828. The papers mention that he paid Isaac Dyche for moving him and a family of slaves from Jackson County, Ga. ( Jackson County was taken from Franklin County). He was buried in Mississippi.
Benjamin married Sabra Hendrick in 1755 in , King and Queen, Virginia, USA. Sabra was born in 1735 in , King and Queen, Virginia, USA; died in 1818 in , Franklin, Georgia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

4th Virgina Regiment during War of 1812
Moses Echols son of Moses Nichols Echols and Elizabeth Wynne served in the Lynchburg Rifles of the 4th Virginia Regiment during the War of 1812.
Richard Echols was the fifth son of English John Echols who married Caty Evans - he was my grandfather - and by her had fourteen children. Three died in infancy. The rest lived to raise families. Their first son was Moses who married Betsy Wynne. They raised a considerable family. Their first son was John who married Fanny Formby and moved from Virginia to Tennessee. I know but little of the family. He was a one-eyed man, he was very smart and had great property. Their second son was Obediah. He married Betsy Terry. He died at about 65 years of age. I know but little of his family, only one son who lives in the western district of Tennessee by name of Champness Terry Echols, a Baptist preacher. Moses third son was by name of Moses who married a Miss Terry - cousin to his brother Obediah's wife. I know nothing of his family. Their fourth son was by name of Evans who married Anna Terry, sister to his brother Moses wife. They live in Virginia. I know no more of their family. Old Moses daughters were by name of Rebecca, Priscilla, Tabitha, Betsy, Lucy and Frances. Rebecca married Edward Akin. I have no knowledge of their family. Priscilla married David Bates in Halifax County, a very large man who offered for the legislature in the county that he was born and raised in when he was about twenty-five years old. He got every vote that was given in the county and the county was very large. He continued to go to the legislature as long as he stayed in Virginia. He then moved to Georgia, Wilkes County. He became a representative of Wilkes County in Senate and was once appointed President Senate pro tem - you can see his name in the digest of the laws of Georgia. He became so fat that it was supposed by the doctors that his fat melted in him, killed him before he was sixty years old. He weighed nearly four hundred pounds. He raised his family in Wilks County, Georgia but after his death they moved to Tennessee. I have but little account of them since. He had one son named Randolph and one named Anderson. Of the rest I have no account only one daughter named Susanah who married James Johnson of Oglethorpe County.
Old Moses third daughter Tabitha married Nathan Formby. He moved from Virginia to Georgia and died in Walton County. He raised four sons and several daughters. His sons were named Moses, Obediah and Nathan. The other I don't know the name of, he married a Miss Harvie in Newton County and died there. Moses and Obediah live in Newton County. They both have families but I don't know the name of either of their wives. Nathan lives in Alabama. I know not of his family. One of old Nathan's daughters married John Whitaker and one married Henry Nichols. One Israel Moore and one married a Mr. Park. I know nothing of the family. Old Moses fourth daughter Betsy married Marlin Farmer. I know no more of the family. His fifth daughter Lucy married Jonas Meadows and that's all I know about them. His sixth daughter Frances married a man by the name of Shelton. I have no account of them further.
