Notes
a. Note:   Ref: Colonial Georgia Genealogical Data 1748-1785 by W H Dumont, SpecialPublication # 36, National Genealogical Society, Washington DC 1971. In 1777 Andrew Elton Wells obtained a stock mark for John Faulk who livedin St Phillip's Parish, Georgia. St Phillip's Parish boundaries were inthe Great Ogeeche and Little Ogeeche river areas and in the hardwickarea. John Faulk securing a stock mark is an indication he had recentlyarrived and was establishing his residence in what to day is WshingtonCo., Georgia. Note John Faulk Jr/Sr arrived in Edgefield Co. SouthCarolina about the same time. John Faulk Jr/Sr (Jr in North Carolinawhere he was a son of John Faulk Sr and Sr in South Carolina because hehad a family of his own) left North Carolina because he was a Loyalistand to escape the wrath of the Patriots. John Faulk Jr/Sr served in theLoyalist Militia and was killed by the South Carolina Patriots abt 1April 1782. John Faulk d 1826 was listed in the Twiggs Co., Georgia Tax List dated1826. John Faulk d1826 served as a Justice of the Peace in Wilkinson Co.,Georgia. THE STORY ABOUT JOHN FAULK The fact that John Faulk lived in St Phillip's Parish Georgia in1777 is significant because it place John near Warthen Georgia whereLucretia, wife of Richard Faulk, brought her children in 1790. KesiahFaulk married Nathaniel Holly Wicker at Warthen in 1790 and is buried inthe Wicker cemetery east of Warthen. So there must be a relationshipbetween John and Richard. On 11 Feb 1807 John Faulk (Falk) and WilliamSmith signed a passport application for Nathan Jiner who wanted to travelthrough the Creek Indian Territory. CBS thinks the 'S' in John S Faulk'sname is probably Smith who could be a grandson of William Smith. TheJoiners and Faulks always moved together. The fact that both John's andRichard's children lived in the same area in Georgia and moved to thesame county in Alabama makes CBS BELIEVE that Richard and John werebrothers and sons of John Faulk Sr/Jr, the Loyalist, who died in SouthCarolina abt 1 April 1782.
