Notes:

NOTE 1./ In the late 1700's Isaac Marchant, Sr. moved from North Carolina to Georgia. This was around 1790 because in 1794 he was shown as a taxpayer in Warren County. He was listed as a Quaker and owned 400 acres on Big Creek in Washington County and 143 acres on Little Briar Creek in Washington County. He was also shown as a member and deacon in Little Briar Creek Baptist Church, Warren County around the 1800's and before. He must have changed from a Quaker to a Baptist after moving to Georgia.

Isaac married Mary Rachel CONNELL. Mary was born in 1770 in North Carolina; died in 1852 in Irwin County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
