Name: Major GATLIN

Surname: Gatlin
Sex: M
Note:
There is little documentation on Major Gatlin in relation to his wifeand children. We have a marriage date, 1808, Greene Co., GA. Thefamily was in GA as late as 1814; Major is named in his Uncle HardyGatlin's will probated that year in NC.

Thereafter, we have only the sketchiest knowledge of the whereaboutsof the family. They seem to have been in Pike Co., MS., during themiddle 1820's near Major's cousin Edward 'Ned' Gatlin. Thomas Gatlin,Major's next older brother, is also there probably for a more extendedperiod than Major, from 1815 until 1835. We find Dorcas Gatlin,Major's wife, in Attala Co., MS in the 1840 census with five children,three boys and two girls still at home. Nearby are two young farmersstarting their families, Wm. W. Gatlin and Thos. M. Gatlin, whom weassume to be Major and Dorcas' oldest children.
Major appears to be deceased probably sometime around the time hisdaughter Nicey was born, abt. 1836 or a bit later.

None of the children of Major and Dorcas are proved; in fact, lists ofthe children vary somewhat. Some factors that determine our choice ofchildren include the recurrence of given names peculiar to thisparticular line descended from Capt. Thos. Gatlin of Lenoir Co., NC,individual Gatlins that cannot be placed with other families, the factthat siblings tend to cluster together in the same area to name a few.

The search is still on for definite proof.

Researcher Melba Schochler told me of Major Gatlin's name appearing inthe tax rolls of Pike Co., MS in the 1820's.
