Notes:

From "The History of Upson County" an Index of Soldiers who served in the "Soldier's Late War" (The War of 1812), on page 171 lists Jacob Presnal, a member of Dupree's District.

The following information was received from Bernice Garner McCown of Granbury, Texas in May of 1991: All of my research points to Jacob Pressnall, son of William and Mary Cabeness, being the father of Elizabeth who married James S. Garner in 1828.

In 1800 Jacob and his father, William Pressnall, were still living near King's Mountain in Newberry County, South Carolina. Jacob was about 25 years of age and had one daughter in his household.

In 1810 he was still in Newberry County, South Carolina, age 35 with his wife, 3 boys and 2 girls.

Jacob served as a substitute Private in Captain Lee Hall's Company of the Georgia Militia

In 1820 Jacob was in Newberry County with no wife (Apparantly she had died) and ?
children.

By 1830 Jacob was living in Carroll County Georgia and was 55 years
old.

In 1840 Jacob was living in Heard County, Georgia (Heard County was formed from part of Carroll, Troup, and Coweta Co.,) Here in 1840, at the age of about 65, he had seven children, and a woman 30-40 years old in his household. I believe this woman is his daughter, Elizabeth Pressnall Garner, widowed by that time. She and her husband James S. Garner lived in Heard County Georgia in 1833 (the part that was taken from Troup County where they were married in 1828). This woman, named Elizabeth in the 1850 census, and 7 children were still in
Jacob's household in the 1850 census. None of them have been found in 1860. Records show that Luke, sone of James S. and Elizabeth Pressnall Garner, came to Texas in 1852. I assume his parents died and the children scattered.

Jacob Pressnall was the only Pressnall the age to have been the father of Elizabeth who married James S. Garner. The Garner and Pressnall families apparently moved to Georgia between 1820 and 1830, settling near Atlanta. Both families living in Newberry County, South Carolina before moving to Georgia and both families are listed in the records of Christ Church, Middlesex County, Virginia which ties these two families together for several generations.

Jacob married Elizabeth Wright on 24 Feb 1824 in Fayette, Georgia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
