Biography

Jacob and his wife descended from sturdy Dutch stock, their ancestors migrating from Holland and settling in Lexington District, S. C. prior to the Revolutionary War.

The families of Jacob Addy, Rev. Levi Bedenbaugh and five others migrated from South Carolina to Coweta County, Georgia in 1839 or 1844 depending on the source (History of Coweta County, Georgia). Jacob and his family settled on a large tract of land in the Haralson District. He was a successful farmer and accumulated considerable property, both lands and slaves. Jacob and Mary had five daughters and four sons, three of whom died in the Civil War. ∼ 1)Coweta County Chronicles For One Hundred Years, Published 1928; pages 585 & 586:
