 Includes NotesNotes for Simeon Oliver:
On August 8, 1819, long before they left Georgia,Simeon wrote his father in Elbert County saying that he must find a new home, as his Georgia crops failed repeatedly. He added that he already looked into the new territory in the west, and he liked it very much. As their Georgia land had been his wife's dowry, he gave his father-in-law the refusal of buying back the farm to keep it in the family.

When Mildred and Simeon finally settled thei DeSoto plantation, it was managed by General Bedford orrest in his youth. On Februry 5, 1840, James wrote a letter to Simeon from Georgi to Hernando. It mentioned that cotton was selling at 7 cents a bag and that two young ladies had gone to school in Washington for $15.00 a month room and board. He wished them all well in their new home and sent special regards to the Tate and White families.
