Aylesbury Shehee

Abt 1795 - Bef 1848  (~ 53 years)

• Name	Aylesbury Shehee
  Birth	Abt 1795	Dorchester, Maryland, United States   [1]
  	US and International Marriage Records says Alyesberry was born in 1795 in Georgia. Certainly, the family came to Georgia from Maryland, but where was he born? I need to prove them in Maryland and track the migration to Georgia.
  Gender	Male
  Military	1812	Georgia, United States   [2]
  	Freeman's Squadron Cavalry, Georgia Militia, War of 1812
  	While this is an uncommon name, I need to see where this unit was mustered in and whether this is the right Aylesbury Shehee.

  Military	24 Nov 1819	Milledgeville, Baldwin, Georgia, United States   [8]

  	A.B. Shehee is a fortunate drawer in the 1820 land lottery. He drew lot 85, district 5, Rabun County. Depending on whether he is single or married at this point, he will get either 1 or 2 draws.
  Misc	20 Apr 1820	Irwin, Georgia, United States   [12]
  	served as surveyor preparing for 1820 Georgia Land Lottery
  	Aylesbury was a surveyor for District 16, Irwin County, in preparation for the 1820 Georgia Land Lottery. His district plat and field notebook are held in the Georgia Archives. His chain carriers were Bland, Micajab; Jones, John; McKindley, William; Shehee, Shearod B. This indicates a close association with Sherrod B. Shehee, who is supposed to be Aylesbury's brother.

  Possessions	7 Jul 1834	Thomas, Georgia, United States   [26]
  	purchased town lots from Forson
  	After moving to Florida and having a plantation there, it seems like Aylesbury may have kept a house in town as well. The Elizabeth F. Hopkins collection has a number of records that might be helpful. There are no Shehee's in the index to the Court of Ordinary records in Thomas County 1828-1908.

  	James J Vickers, John Finlayson, Henry D. Shehee sold land to Louvisa W Shehee and Thomas J Shehee. All apparently heirs of A.B. Shehee deceased. For $5 and natural love and affection. Two lots of land lying in the 14th district originally Early Co now Decatur Co all of lot 201 (250 acres), and north half of fractional lot 242 containing 112 1/2 acres. Louvisa to enjoy the land during her natural life and at her death, it will fall to the heirs of Thomas J Shehee A.B. Shehee paid property tax early in 1848 and his property was sold in November, so he likely died in the fall of the year.

  Probate	13 Mar 1850	Madison, Florida, United States   [85]
  	The sheriff sells property of the estate of A.B. Shehee to William I Bailey of Jefferson County. A.B. Shehee had entered into a contract to sell the land before he died. Since there was a balance still due, the land had to be sold to pay the balance.

  2024-08-25 Where A.B. Shehee was born is still up for debate. His father was clearly in MD in 1790 and was in Washington County by 1805. Where he was between is not yet known. Records are hard to find for Georgia for that period, so maybe focus on Maryland to determine when he left. But, also figure out where they were between MD and Washington Co., GA. Where there other migrations going on and were there other people who came along? What led to the move? It does not appear to be bounty land because it's still a little early. It also appears that A.B.'s grandfather may have moved from MD to Ohio for bounty land. Finding a marriage record and identity for Leovisa is a priority here, too. Maybe we can look at some of the witnesses for later land transactions to get an idea. What led to the move to south Georgia and then into Florida? -------- It appears that A.B. Shehee was born in Maryland, but his family moved to middle Georgia before he married (maybe). I had thought that his parents stayed behind and that he moved after he married, but newspaper notices place him and his parents in Washington County by 1817. I think he was elected to the state General Assembly but only served a couple of years. By 1830, he had moved to south Georgia near Valdosta in Lowndes county. And then shortly moved into north Florida, Jefferson County, near Aucilla. I have seen an account that he died in Decatur county, GA (Bainbridge). I have not proved that, but he may have owned land there. Notes from Ancestry - lyrical516 On the road to Ashville, fifteen miles from Monticello, lies one of the beauty spots of Jefferson County. The name, Glendower, was given to this plantation by John Finlayson, whose father was Daniel Finlayson from Scotland, who, when a boy of eighteen years, came to America in 1800. Daniel settled in South Carolina and married Christiana McRae, also a native of Scotland, whose family had emigrated to America. In 1810, his oldest son, John, was born. In 1818, the family moved to Telfair County, Georgia, near Cape Fear River, and Daniel turned his attention to farming, especially stock-raising, and was noted for his neatness in the management of his farm. He died very soon after settling in Georgia. His wife was a religious woman, of great physical energy and intellectual vigor. She was very ambitious to have her three children educated. They attended school in a primitive log structure, and, though the instruction gained there may have contributed to their knowledge, it could not compare to the intellectual acquirements gained at their own fireside. In the planting season, John helped with the labors of the farm, and during the rest of the year, he attended school. He was as full of ambitious plans, as his mother, and at fifteen years of age, he took charge of a small school, which he taught long enough to discover his inaptitude for teaching. His next venture was in the mercantile business. By 1829 he had a business of his own, and in ten years he was worth thirty five thousand dollars. He had always cherished a desire to be a planter, and in 1839 he possessed the requisite amount to purchase a plantation, and chose Florida as his future home. He bought a fine tract of land, a sufficient number of slaves and implements to do the laborious work, thus beginning to realize the fulfillment of his hopes. In 1842, he married Florida Augusta Shehee, a daughter of a very early settler of Jefferson County, Judge A. B. Shehee. A most attractive home was built, beautified by the wonderful setting of moss-draped live oaks, and other native trees. The interior sheltered graceful pieces of antique furniture and exquisite oil portraits of his five children; John Jr., Augusta, Mary, Virginia and Daniel Aylesbury. Notes for Aylesbury Shehee: History of Jefferson county, Florida Pg.84 Aylesbury Shehee Named to command an expedition to drive out the Indians who have harassed the area. Pg. 97 Aylesbury Shehee's Plantation is near the Aucilla river and close to the plantation of John Finlayson who is his son-in-law. A.B. Shehee one of the trustees for Aucilla Academy charter in 1840 Pg.170 A.B. Shehee chaired a group of protesters during the depression of 1837 Pg.176 County Judge A.B. Shehee is chairman of a group demanding statehood for Florida . 1820 Georgia Census lived in Washington County . 1830 Georgia Census lived in Lowndes County
