Benjamin Bergeron

GEDCOM Note

Benjamin and Abigail Bargeron who lived in District 64 of Burke County, Georgia, in the early 1800s. The 1820 Census for District 64 for Abigail Bergeron (born between 1780 and 1790)shows one son and four daughters under 20 years of age. From existing records it can be deduced that Abigail's husband, Benjamin, died in 1819 or 1820. The four daughters all married and left Burke County to settle in newly formed counties in western Georgia and eastern Alabama. The son's name was Elisha who was born in 1801. For his entire lifetime he remained in District 64 which contained the community of Sardis. Benjamin and Abigail seem to have been the initial Bargerons on the Sardis side of Brier Creek. The family of Elijah Bargeron and his wife, Letitia, remained on the Girard side of Brier Creek in District 68 of Burke County where Elisha (born 1748) and Elizabeth Bergeron had lived.
