William Julian Sr. & Jr. went from Pickens/Pendleton Co. SC to Cherokee
Co., GA around 1830. They are both there in the 1840 census, although
William Sr. is old and did not live until the 1850 census. William
Julian Jr.(b.1796 NC) had a wife named Lydia or Liddy (perhaps
Elizabeth). Because of the splintering of Cherokee Co. GA, it may be that
these Julians were actually living in what became Pickens Co.,
GA--William Julian Jr. is there in Pickens Co. GA by 1860.

Is anyone researching this Julian family. Spellings for this name read
Julien, Julian, Julen, Julan, Julin, and even some that are more far
removed.

WILLIAM JULIAN TIMELINE - NC into SC into GA

1750 - Wm. born about this time or slightly before.

1768 - Rowan Co. --Wm. probably with Peter II on Abbotts Creek (Rowan,
............now .Davidson Co.NC)

1771 - Regu.years, Rowan/Meck.Co. where Wm. proved a deed fm
Morrison>Miller

Co.?)
......Crooked Creek of Catawba River (see map)

1790 - Burke Co. census Wm. with Benj. Julian (b.1757, younger than
Wm.)--4th Co.
.............Benj. went to White Co. TN--1850 census says b. NC. Also a
John Jillon

1793 - Anderson/Pendleton Co. SC - Wm. bought land of D.Whitchel
Carpenter's Creek .of Saluda River--see deeds at bottom

1795 - Anderson/Pendleton Co. SC - Wm. wit. deed of Peter J. & John on
Peters Crk of Saluda R.--see deeds at bottom

1797 - Anderson/Pendleton Wm. bought land in Pendleton Co. SC (could

1800 - Pendleton/Pickens Co. SC - Wm. 45+ years, w/younger Wm. & John

1810 - Pendleton/Pickens Co. SC -Wm. 45+, but there is an John Julen too

1820 - Pendleton/Pickens Co. SC - there is only *Joseph Julen 26-44 yrs

1830 - Anderson/Pendleton Co. SC - no Julen,
1830 - Pickens Co. SC - William Julian (Jr-b.1780-1790)

Wm Julian Sr. probably died between 1840 & 1850, William Jr. after that?

1840 CHEROKEE CO. GA.. He is shown as age 80 to 90 therefore born 1750 to
1760 . Living with him are a male and female 40 to 50 and one female 10
to 15. This is clarified by the 1850 census for the same area of
Cherokee. Living there with many of the same neighbors as in 1840 is
William Julian, age 66 , with wife Lydia age 54. No children are with
them, and apparently William Sr. has died. Important to us is that
William Jr. is shown as being born in NC and Lydia in SC. So William Jr,
was born in NC in 1796 between the 1790 and 1800 census. The 1860 census
for Pickens County GA( which was taken out of Cherokee GA) confirms this
although William's age is shown as 73 and Liddy's is 64. Same birth
places. I also found the daughter's marriage (Hulda) to Alfred Hightower
or Alfred Milton in the 1840's ,

*Joseph Julian appears to be a separate line--spelled Josef

Pendleton, SC Deeds, Book G, pp.51-52:
