Hello, Driggerses!
I am a descendant of Isaac W. Driggers and wife, Ann, both from SC. He was born about 1788, she about 1801. They had at least one child, Issac Caleb Driggers, born 1827, who married Ellesider (Ellender, Ellen, take your pick), last name maybe Rodgers, born 1832. Again, both were born in SC.
Isaac C. and Ellesider had 6 children from 1853 to 1870: Mary, Issac, Charity Ann, Caleb, Amanda and Ben(?). In family story, Ellesider is full-blood Indian, but of two different tribes - Creek and either Cherokee or Choctaw. (Beginning from SC, I think Cherokee is a better bet.)
Sometime before the 1850the Isaacs moved to Alabama, and show up in the censuses there until after the Civil War, when they moved their families to FL.
Isaac Caleb served in the 19th AL Infantry during the Civil War and applied for a pension from the State of FL. (My aunt has gotten copies of this, but I haven't seen them yet).
Isaac W.'s wife, Ann, may be a second wife, since an Isaac W. Driggers married an Ann Rodgers in Pike Co, AL in 1845.
Charity Ann Driggers married C.C. (Charles Caleb or vice versa) Ezell in Madison Co, FL in 1878. Their daughter, Mae Jane, married Columbus Alexander Buzbee in 1898. The Buzbees also immigrated from AL to FL after the Civil War.
There's a wad of Driggeres in the southern counties of AL. Just so you know.
If any of this is of interest to any of yall, please get in touch with me. I myself am interested in where Isaac W. came from in SC and any info on Ellesider.
A Driggers connection with the Melungeons is really interesting and may explain the Rodriguez- Black Dutch stories I've seen mentioned here.
