Mary Ansley

  General Notes:

Notes from ancestry.com:
Mary Ansley, wife of Job Morris, was sister to Thomas, Benjamin, Rebecca and William Ansley, Jr. Thomas married in Monmouth County then moved to Warren County, Georgia. Mary and Job also married in Monmouth County and Mary moved to Warren County with the children after Job died. It was in Warren County, Georgia where Thomas' son Abel Ansley and Mary's daughter Lydia Morris (first cousins) married on January 30, 1790. Jimmy Carter is descended from Abel and Lydia through their daughter Ann Ansley who married Wiley Carter. Wiley and Ann Carter's son, Littleberry Walker Carter, married Mary Ann Diligent Seals and moved to Sumter County, Georgia. Jimmy is their great grandson. When Thomas moved to Georgia, he settled in Wrightsboro, a community Royal Govenor Wright gave to emigrating Quakers for religious freedom, thereby giving Augusta a buffer from the Indians. Thomas fought in the Revolution and when he returned from the war the elders would no longer let him live in Wrightsboro (anti-war, anti-violence, royalists that they were). As a result Thomas bought land just outside Wrightsboro and built a house for his family, known as the Rock House, which still stands and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
