#89. James Liddle 400010-00010-0The name is usually spelled, at least in this family, Liddell. Also
enumerated in 1820 were William Liddle, (No. 281 in Gwinnett County) cousin of James above, and also in Jackson Co., Joseph (No. 451) and Josiah Little (No. 871), apparently of a different family.The Liddell (Liddle) family that moved from Abbeville and Pendleton
Districts, S.C., to Jackson and Gwinnett counties, Ga., descends from James
Liddell, born c1712 in Scotland, according to old tradition in the family. St. John Richardson Liddell (son of Moses, son of Andrew, son of James born c 1712) endorsed a copy of Andrew's Rev. record (Office of the Comptroller General, Coumbia, S.C., May 9, 1857) with the statement that he had heard his father (Moses) say the family migrated to (New) Jersey "after the rebellion of 1745 under the pretender," referring to the Stuart troubles of "the '45" in Scotland. The family appears to have worked it's way through Delaware, Maryland (William of Gwinnett was born in Annapolis) and to the Carolinas well before the Revolution.
James Liddell born c 1712 died in Abbeville District, S.C., c1796, leaving a will (July 6, 1791/March 28, 1797, Book 1, p. 177, Box 108. Package 2955) in which he named his wife Esther and children. His children were:1) Elizabeth b. c1745, died c1808, married c1761 Daniel Keith, born c1740, died c1819 in Franklin Co., Tenn. Daniel, who appears not to have been closely related to Cornelius Keith and his son Daniel from N.C., living at the same time in Pendelton District, S.C., sold his land on Devil's Fork Creek in Pendleton Feb. 4, 1806, and headed west with other members of his family.
Keith had children 1) Ruth born 1762, 2) Alexander (married Sarah Galey),
3) Nancy (m. John Scott), 4) James, Martha (married Robert Black of Pendleton, 5) Daniel, 6) Andrew, 7) Elizabeth (married Thomas Morrow), 8) Mary (Married Thomas McAllister or McOllister of Pendleton), and 9) Esther (married William Brazelton in Tenn.Ruth, born March 25, 1762, married William Liddell Feb. 3, 1784, in
