Biography

Ephraim moved with his family about 1803 to Montgomery Co, GA, where he grew up. About 1830, his father passed away and his family moved south to Thomas County, GA. He and his new bride, however, moved to Wilkinson Co., GA, where they started their family. Around late 1840 or early 1841, Ephraim joined his family in Thomas County, where he lived out his days farming and rearing children.

Ephraim had another wife whose first name is in dispute, often "Recy," but probably "Dicy," as a nickname for Ludicia.

Ephraim Gandy is found in the 1850 Thomas County Census with the following people in his household (with ages):

Dicy, 35 Noel, 17 Elisabeth, 13 (Hepsyann Elizabeth) Harvel, 10 Hall, 10, twin of Harvel

One researcher believes Ephraim also had a daughter named Priscilla.

Ephraim served in the CSA as a Lieutenant with the Wilkinson Co., GA, Militia.
