I have some info on the Hagan line that originated out of Appling Co. Georgia.
There is a Peter Hagin listed in the 1790 Surry Co., NC census. He is listed with 2 males under the age of 16 and 1 "free white female". This Peter Hagan (according to oral family history from "our elders" migrated from Appling Co. GA in Surry Co., NC. The elder Peter Hagin (listed in the 1790 census) is the father of Peter Hagan b.c.1780 in NC. Peter Hagan b.c.1780 married Francis May Holcomb (her father May Halcomb is listed in the 1790 Surry Co. census). Peter Hagan and Francis Halcomb had the following children: Colston D, Halcomb May (my ggg grandfather, )Henry, James, Mary Ann, Sally, Margaret, John, Joseph, Hiram David. Halcomb Hagan remained eventually settled in Decatur Co., GA where he married Martha Louisa Cooper in 1837. Martha and Halcomb left Decatur county shortly after the 1840 census and headed to Calhoun Co., Fl where they are reflected in the 1850 census. Halcomb's brother, Colston D Hagan married Zyphilia Mann Collins 20 March 1826 in Madison Co., NC. They had the following children: Lawrence b. 1832, Chrisley G, b. 27 Aug 1845, Seborn b. 14 Feb 1827 and Mahaly and Peter born sometime between 1827 1845.
Seborn J. Hagan married Mary Ann Roberts 27 Jan 1856 (Madison Co., NC). Mary Ann and Seborn had one son I know of: Lawrence, b. 14 Nov 1859 (Madison Co.) and he died 29 Nov 1929 in Barnardsville, NC. Getting back to the 1790 Surry Co NC census of Peter Hagan (father of Peter Hagan-father of Halcomb) clearly there is at least one Hagan brother of the elder Peter unaccounted for. My Mom began researching our lineage 60+ years ago and linked a Stephen Hagon (age 69) that was reflected in the 8 Oct 1850 Walton Co. Fl census house #13. He was listed as being born in SC. His wife Polly (52) from NC. All their listed children were born in GA.
In house #11 was listed a Benj F Hagan (age 30) from GA with wife child. In house #12 was listed a HR Hagans (age 24) born in GA. In all likelihood Benj and HR were the sons of Stephen. If any of this makes a connection to anyone searching the Hagans from NC that originally came from "ole Applin" I would be happy to try to sort this out. I have extensive info on the Halcomb Hagan line and his children who settled in Calhoun County. Note: When I asked my mother what the connection of Stephen Hagan was to Peter Hagan she said that "the elders" had sketchy info which she had problems recalling currently. They knew for sure that the Hagan line of Halcomb/Peter came from "ole applin" into Surry Co and then split to Decatur GA and then split off into Fla. This may account for why Stephen (Uncle of Halcomb?) came to Florida around 1850 during he same time Halcomb migrated there.
