GA-DEUTSCH-L@rootsweb.comHi Joy,
All four of those fellows were brothers and the sons of Peter and Allie Agnes Wright Readdick of Camden County. The elder Peter was born circa 1800 and he had a brother named Francis born circa 1802. Several of us who've been working on the Georgia r320s (related Reddicks & Readdicks) strongly suspect that those two brothers were the sons of Francis Reddick, who had lived in Burke and Screven Counties at or near Francis Paris' Mill on Brier Creek (present-day Millhaven). This earliest Francis Reddick first appeared in Burke Co. in 1785 or '86 and then appears to have disappeared from Screven County about 1795. And there's an old story from one of his nephews about "Uncle Frank" having gone off to Florida. Interestingly, Camden County borders on the Florida state line.
A descendant of A.J. 'Jack' Readdick (another brother of these four) has undergone DNA testing and he results match up with mine. We have 37 for 37 marker matches in our results. Thus, the Readdicks of Camden and Glynn Counties are proven to be genetic relatives of Reddicks from Burke and Screven Counties.
Of the four brothers listed here, George and Peter died during the war.
----------
There should be several Reddicks also listed (if this was an all-state listing of the deceased). John Reddick of Burke County died while serving in the war. He was the son of Nicholas Reddick and Nancy Royal. He was born in 1838 and died October 18, 1862. He served in Company C of the 1st Battalion of Georgia.
Two more Reddicks who died during the war were sons of Nicholas Moses Reddick (born 1802 in Burke or Screven Co.) and Samantha Jane Whittle (third wife of Nicholas Moses). The eldest was Peter Whittle Reddick, who was born November 18, 1843 and died at Jekyll Island on one of two dates - September 7, 1861 or else January 11, 1862. Peter enlisted into Company G of the 26th Regiment of the Georgia Infantry. Next was Thomas Freeman Reddick, who was born October 9, 1845 and died June 18, 1864. He enlisted in Company D, 20th Battalion of the Georgia Cavalry.
This information was put together in a series of books on the Georgia Reddicks by Mrs. Shirley Reddick of Pensacola.
