Joseph Vickery was an American patriot and fought in the American Revolution in the Virginia militia. After American Independence (1783), he and his family migrated south, first to Montgomery County, North Carolina, where he is listed with wife and 5 children on the 1790 US Census (the Census report does not give spouse or children's names or ages; it's believed son Aaron was already out of the household). Then, the family moved to York County, South Carolina, where Joseph is listed on the 1800 & 1810 US Census reports, and then to Elbert County (became Hart Co. in 1853), Georgia, where he had a plantation before 1820.[3]

Joseph Vickery died in 1827 in Carpenters District, Elbert Co. (Hart Co. in 1853), Georgia, USA. No burial information has been found.
