Notes

JAMES VEAZEY,JR Ann Johnson, daughter of Elizabeth, married a Veazey, however his given name is not shown in the "Little Fertilizer Book." There is is a DAR record of James Veazey, Jr. with a wife named Ann. There is a Revolutionary War pension record for a James Veasey with wife named Ann. He is most likely the James Veazey who fought at Kettle Creek. The James, Jr. , who married Ann Johnson, died in Hancock County, Georgia about 1795. Their children listed in the DAR record were: Elizabeth who was born 07 APR. 1769 and married Charles Miller; Mary; Sarah; Ann; Charity; Thomas; who was born before 1775 and married Elizabeth Flake; William; James; and Stephen. This James Veazey, Jr. remains a mystery at this writing. Could he have been another son of Edward Veazey who died in Granville County, North Carolina? Or might he be the son the mysterious Thomas Veazey, brother of James and Edward, who is shown in Ducan Veazey's manuscript as Dr. Thomas Veazey? These are only theories and not proven at this time.

By the Land Grant records, it now appears there is a younger James than the James(16), Who styled himself as "James Junior." (See Chart of Land Grants.) The list of children on the DAR record, as listed above, do not resemble those of this James(16) and Elizabeth Hollingsworth Johnson. COL (ret) Eli Lincoln"Link" Veazey, Jr. found a reference in Thomas Maxwell and His Descendants, Page 417, "Elizabeth Johnson Married 1st Thomas Johnson; their children were Steven and Ann. Ann Johnson married James Veazey a cousin of her step-father, James Veazey." This appears to be our mysterious James Veazey, Jr. who married Ann Johnson and died in Hancock County, Georgia, about 1795. He would obviously have been younger that James (16) who married Elizabeth H. Johnson, therefore he used the suffix of "Jr." This mysterious James is listed as a "cousin" of James who married Elizabeth H. Johnson. If "cousin" meant 1st cousin, then he would have been the son of one of the sons of John and Martha Broccus Veazey. I have no record of an unidentified James who fits this description. Other notes of Eli Lincoln "Link" Veazey, Jr.: James, "Jr." (meaning 16) was a Patriot and a Private. His military memorial marker is located at Kettle Creek Battlefield, although it is doubtful that he actually fought in this battle through which Georgia was freed of the Tory dominations. He was a member of Lee's Legion, having joined the military in Maryland. This unit did not arrive in Georgia until 1780 and the Battle of Kettle Creek was fought 14 FEB 1779. Lee's Legion saw action at the Battle of Guilford County Courthouse in North Carolina and it is very probable that this James Veazey (16) was involved in that battle. James(16) was recorded in North Carolina as early as 1754 and yet he entered the military during the Revolution from Maryland. I can't help but speculate as to why he returned to his orgianal home to join the Revolutionary War effort. Was it because one of his kinsmen from Maryland was an officer in the militia?

In 1786, James (16) was granted 100 acres of Land in Wilkes County, Georgia. He was the progenitor of most of the Georgia-Alabama-Mississippi-Louisiana-Texas,etc. Veazeys.
