Savell, Aaron
Research by Bertie Alice Apperson Smith, Great, Great Grand daughter of
Aaron Savell who was one of four sons – (Moses, William, John and Aaron)
born to William and Lucy Savell listed on Laurens County
South Carolina.
Census in 1790.
This family was in Franklin County, Georgia 1800 – 1808. The tax rolls there
lists Moses, William, John and Aaron. The 1805 Lottery lists John, Lucy (widow),
and Moses.
“Passports Issued by Governors of Georgia 1785 – 1809”, page 194 states
‘Tuesday, 25 October 1808, on the recommendation of James Blair, ordered
that a passport through the Cherokee Nation be prepared for Rev’d William
Denman and Moses Savell with their families – which was presented and
signed.’ Moses, John and Aaron crossed the Cherokee Nation into Mississippi
Territory in late 1808. 1810 Census in Clark Co., Mississippi Territory lists
Moses Savell. Also – Gandrund’s Alabama Records, Vol 68, Clark Co. – in the
Forward “the first Grist Mill was operated by John Salter and Moses
Savell.”
1810 Census Lawrence County, Mississippi shows John in Bogue Chitto, Aaron in Fair River. Lawrence County tax rolls 1815 – 1819 shows John, 160
acres land in Bogue Chitto; Aaron 160 acres land in Fair River 1815 –1824.
Aaron fought in the War of 1812 – (Rowland 13 Regiment (Nixon’s) of Miss.
Militia (page 204) Aaron is listed Saville, Aaron, Private. Card numbers
38944726, 38944943, 38944968. Discharged 5 day February 1815.
In 1815 in “Carter’s Territorial Papers of U.S. – Mississippi, Vol., 6, pp 494ff Page 1
‘Petition to Congress by inhabitants of Marion and Lawrence Counties’ – “since
we have been in the field 3 years (war with England and Creeks) asking
Congress to give them more time to pay for the public land on which they lived.” – Jan. 19, 1815 – page 496 has Aaron Savel listed.
1818 – Minutes of Fair River Baptist Church Aaron is mentioned. Also Minutes of Fair River Baptist Church April 23, 1824 – ‘Bro. Aaron Savil came
forward and stated that there was reported against him concerning his marking
some wild hogs that were not his, acknowledged the fact; the Church believing it
not to be right excommunicated him.” No other Savels listed in any Church
Minutes. (in 1828 Aaron joined Palestine Baptist Church in Hinds County, by
letter from Fair River. So Fair River must have taken him back into fellowship.)
On 1820 Census, Lawrence County Aaron has 2 M under 10, One M 10-16, 1 M 16-26, 1 F 10-16, 1 F over 45. Part of Lawrence County was taken to form
part of Lincoln Co. I did no research in Lincoln County.
In 1826 Aaron’s daughter, Lucy, married Lewis Denham in Lawrence County.
In 1827 Aaron’s Family, as well as most of John’s family were all in Hinds
County. Aaron paid taxes there 1827 thru 1831. Aaron joined Palestine Baptist
Church, Hinds County in 1828 by letter from Fair River Baptist Church. On 1830
Hinds County Census Aaron had; 1 M under 5, 1 M under 10, 1 M 10-15, 1 M 15-20, 1 M 40-50, 1 F slave 24-36, 1 F 40-50 (It is believed the 1M under 5 was
child of this F slave.)
Aaron died Feb 9, 1832 and was buried in Palestine Cemetery in Hinds County,
near Raymond, Mississippi. (More to follow regarding events related). Aaron
