Reddicks in Gates County, N.C.
I am still trying to locate my g-g-grandfather in Gates County, N.C.I have a signed statement by him that he was born in Gates County in 1823 but can't locate him in any census.He left there in 1849 and moved to Houston County Georgia and I have an excellent record from then on down.
In checking the censuses from 1820 to 1850, (that was the time period when they didn't list children) I find several Reddicks who had male children his age in the 1830 and 1840 census but can't prove any of them.
There names are:Henry Reddick, Willis Reddick, Lemuel Reddick, Nathan Reddick, Joseph reddick and Willis J. Reddick.They all had children the right age but the only James Reddick I can find that could be him is listed in another county in 1840 but the census says he was from another district, so it is inclusive.The names Henry, and Joseph, as well as James, keep repeating all down through the Reddick line I am tracking.
Any help would be appreciated.Perhaps someone has worked these names a little more.....Thanks,Cal
