Quick Overview: Our Shadix (Shaddix) family is also rich with southern history. Before moving to Alabama, they made their home in Georgia from the mid 1700s to the late 1800s, staying longer than any of our other families. Most of our SHADIX family lines immigrated from England, though at least two, Thomas CARSON, and Margaret MCDOWELL, were from Tyrone, Ireland, and the Travis MCCLENDON family line is from Scotland.

Ancestors of Note: Samuel WINSLETT, Sr. (our 4th great grandfather) is also the 5th great grandfather of country singer, Trisha Yearwood. The TV show "Who Do You Think You Are" featured her family tree on Season 4, Episode 7. Samuel arrived from Surrey, England in 1766 after he and his brother John were charged with stealing/hunting deer on Lord Winterton's property in 1765, a crime punishable with death by hanging. Instead, the court showed royal mercy and Reprieved the orphan brothers, "Transporting" them to work in America for 14 years. 4 years later, Samuel was granted 100 acres of land in Riceboro, Liberty County, Georgia, from King George III. He later served in the American Revolutionary War and in 1784 was granted 287 acres in Washington County, Georgia, not far from Monticello. He died 9 years later at the age of 85 in 1829. A few years prior to his death, Samuel sold this land to a different family and moved to Putnam County, Georgia.
