| Isaac, his children, and his brother Abraham were found on membership lists for the Belleville Baptist Church in Conecuh County, Alabama. [1] |
I have not found direct evidence showing Isaac Giddens, born in 1782, to be the son of John Giddens of Wayne County, North Carolina. But, I have found records that indirectly point to Isaac as John's son. My first found record of Isaac Giddens was in John Giddens' probate record. Isaac purchased items from John Giddens' estate on 10 December 1802. Isaac, the only Giddens making purchases, bought a set of hatters tools, twelve hogs, two steers, a mare, and five barrels of corn. [2]
 |
| According to this clipping in the 23 December 1806 issue of the Wilmington Gazette, Isaac married Fame Futch. This name differs from numerous family trees that name Isaac's wife as Phama Patterson. [5] |
Isaac was found with his wife and children in Wayne County on the 1810 U. S. Census.[6] And, the 1810 Tax List showed that he owned 100 acres of land.[7] Isaac's land was situated on Jethro's Marsh Branch - the same location as land owned by John Giddens, at least three of his siblings, and by John's widow, Sarah.[8] Isaac sold that land before 1815 to Cullen A. Blackman and it doesn't appear that he owned land again in North Carolina.[9]
 |
| An Isaac Giddens was a private in the New Hanover Militia commanded by Captain Bennerman. It is not known if this Isaac is the Isaac in this post, but there were only a few Giddens in North Carolina and no other Isaac Giddens can be found. [12] |
where he was found on both the 1820 and 1830 U. S. Censuses.[11]
In 1840, Isaac was living in Conecuh, Alabama.[13] His wife may have died as in 1830, there was a female between the ages of 40 and 49 but no indication of this woman in 1840.[14] The 1820 census indicates that Isaac and his wife, Fame, had at least six children born in North Carolina.[15] A family Bible transcription[16] showed the children to be as follows:
Matilda
Matilda Giddens was born on 23 September 1807 in North Carolina and married John Parker on 29 Jun 1854 in Alabama. She died on 27 October 1889 in Conecuh County, Alabama. Her burial place is unknown.[17]
Sarah
Sarah Giddens was born on 26 November 1808 in North Carolina, She married David Spence in Cumberland County, North Carolina on 10 December 1835. Sarah died on 14 March 1889 in Conecuh County, Alabama.[18]
John
John Giddens was born on 4 November 1810 in North Carolina and died on 11 January 1858. His place of death and burial are unknown. [19]
Daniel
Daniel Giddens was born on 19 November 1812 in North Carolina. He was a Baptist minister in the Jackson, Mississippi area. He married Susan F. McFarland Sheppard, a widow from Hinds County, Mississippi. Daniel died on 22 December 1871 leaving his widow and four children. [20]
Mary
Mary Giddens was born on 11 November 1814 in North Carolina and died on 2 June 1857. Her place of death and burial are unknown. [21]
Isaac
Isaac Giddens was born on 25 October 1817 in North Carolina. He married Mary Branson in 1841 and they had six children. Isaac died on 11 October 1896 in Conecuh County, Alabama. [22]
________________________________
In 1850, the senior Isaac, a farmer, was 68 years old and living in Conecuh County. His adult daughters, Matilda and Mary, were also living in the home. [23] The 1860 U. S. Census of Conecuh County showed Isaac, age 78, living with his daughter, Matilda, and her husband, John Parker, along with other extended family members.[24]
A family Bible transcription previously mentioned showed Isaac died on 25 June 1867 in Alabama. His burial place is unknown. [25]
