“She married Reuben Searcy, her mind was only moderate, but was of an amicable & industrious Turn [sic]. They lived in Granville County (for) many years and had Seven or eight children. Her husband was Clerk of County Court of Granville many years. He was a man of insolent habits but possessed of good-mind. In January 1787 (unreadable word) his wife died in child-bed. Asa – their first son was a good soldier was in several battles in S. C. and was wounded in the celebrated battle of “Eutaw Springs” (09-18-1781). Bennet their secon(d) son, studied law, obtained license and removed to Nashville & I believe was eventually promoted to Judgeship. His brother Robert went also to Nashville & soon in consequence of a strong & well regulated mind and gentlemanly deportment became very popular. They [the brothers] married sisters and soon both (of the sisters) died. Their father married a Miss Jett and soon afterward resigned his Clerkship, sold his lands and removed to Kentucky he again sold out and then removed to Tennessee. He lived to be a very old man. He had many children by his last wife..”

     Note: From Terry Searcy:

Robert Eastin Searcy was the illegitimate son of Robert Searcy (b.1768) and Elizabeth Chapman, born circa 1790. Robert became guardian on 07-14-1798 and adopted RES on 10-29-1802. RES considered Robert’s other children as his “brothers and sisters” and left them 2/3’s of his estate should he not have any children of his own. RES received appointment as a midshipman in the US Navy on 01-24-1812 and died in service on 11-01-1822 of yellow fever. He married Isabella Richie McCauley in Washington, DC on 09-11-1821. He wrote his will on 07-16-1822 just prior to departure on his final voyage. Isabella gave birth to Robert Eastin Searcy Junior while RES was at sea. The son died on 07-08-1827, not yet 5 years old.
