| Notes |
- b. 1761 NC d. 22 May 1831 in Harris County, GA. David m. Rebecca Willingham daughter of William Willingham and Nancy Williams (Probably his second wife). 5th Great Grandparents of Thomas Allen Satterwhite III. David (Mitchell) Satterwhite received a Richmond County, Georgia land grant in 1787 which later became Columbia County. He served on jury duty in Columbia County in 1797. In 1803, David purchased land from a William Reid in Columbia Co., GA, and in 1805 David served in the Columbia Co., Militia. He is recorded in the 1806 Columbia Co., Tax list. Cousin William Satterwhite and his wife Milly Dunn Satterwhite (see Chapter 5.7) are also on this tax list. He participated in the 1807 Georgia Land Lottery and drew land in Baldwin Co., in the amount of 202 acres. In 1808 he served as power of attorney for a certain Millinor Hammock in Jones Co., GA. He sold her land to Stephen Satterwhite. David Satterwhite was a witness to John Childs will. In 1810 David sold a house he built in Jones Co. Georgia to his Sister Susannah and John Childs for $1,100.00. David Satterwhite was a traveler he had to go from NC to check on his cattle being cared for by an Indian tribe in Indian Territory (TN) proven by passport applications; I have copies of them. He lived in Indian Territory (TN) for a few years. Then he had a daughter born in SC. I think that he was a single man when he applied for the land grant in Georgia; his Uncle William Satterwhite lived in Richmond County, Georgia at that time. His daughter Amy was born about 1783-4 in VA; christened 1785 in (TN) Indian Territory, several children were born in Indian Territory. He finally settled in GA and more children were born there. Researchers must keep in mind what was going on in NC, TN and GA during this period. The British did not give up and go home until 1783. Indian Territory (TN) in particular was a tough place to live; getting out of there to GA would have been a smart move. Losing a wife to disease, war or other mishaps was common. I think that is what happened to David and that would explain why his elder children were not in the GA will; they had inheritance at the time of their mother’s death. Pure conjecture but possible. David Satterwhite returned to Granville County from Georgia when his father died in 1804 and went back to Georgia. I have a paper that shows David being present when his father’s will was read. A reference to him as David senior in his Son James’ Bible makes it likely that his middle name was Mitchell because James named a son David Mitchell Satterwhite who also named a son David Mitchell Satterwhite.
He has been documented in NC, VA, TN, SC, GA. His second wife’s name was probably Rebecca Willingham. She may have been Mary Willingham Manning’s sister. Two of Mary’s daughters Elizabeth and Rebecca Manning m. David and Rebecca Satterwhite’s sons (James and Elijah).
